There is nothing wrong with knowing how much gold worth of stats you get from an item. Some people would probably use it to measure an item build's effectiveness, but it's good to know what stats you purchase and how much it is when complared to other items; I would definitely miss those calculations if they were removed. And as the previous commentators said, gold efficiency is not the reason why you pick an item, it's the stats that can benefit your team at that moment of the game, with the champions on your team against the champions on the other team. That means you will buy the "cost inefficient" on  to add some burst to your 250 AP from  and, and you won't buy the "cost efficient"  on  in ARAM because the rest of your team doesn't benefit from AD and LS.
