That's how I look at it too. And I have had one or two stray into my place that have stayed and made decent racers.
It's a funny old game.

As we've always said Neil, each to their own, we all have our own goals and methods, and none of us has the right to criticise or judge others for their choices, our own conscience is our judge.

Totally agree, each to their own, no one has the right to force their opinions on others, if people are satisfied with the way things are then so be it enjoy it while it’s there to be enjoyed

Once many years ago in the early 80s, (1981 I think) sending to GNEFC Clermont 352 miles. At the time a well supported club, if I recall over 160 members sent. I had the first to birds into York finishing 15th & 31st open and won a watch BOTH birds I clocked were STRAYS, one was an escaped stock bird, that went on to card a few times over the channel including Poitiers 514 miles, the other a sprint bird a Karl Herman which was actually a stray for a club member who give her to me. She went on to win some 15 club cards, and bred Winners for me. This hens nestmate, a cock won 30 x 1sts for the original owner.
