You may call it "junk mail", but the hundreds of thousands of people employed in the paper, printing, ink, mailing, transportation, delivery, fulfillment, marketing, advertising, manufacturing, and label industries, at a start, consider it to be their livelihood. And the governments who collect the taxes from those individuals and industries are "truly thankful." Believe it or not, these people would not do this if it were not a successful means of selling their products. You want to talk about the appropriateness of the product, that's another issue.
