I would agree and feel they serve no purpose whatsoever.

Other items of clothing do as they have things like pockets for money and ****, or the most basic use of keeping one warm.

Indeed. Plus, one invariably ends up dripping food or drink on the damn thing and, while with a shirt one can simply wash it, a tie has to be expensively dry-cleaned So one ends up paying a large-ish sum of money to own and maintain an item of clothing one hates wearing. Madness!
