Do we really need Blog module in Drupal 7 (and 8)? [closed]

Question

In Drupal 7, the Blog module do not have any option to change the URL. Because I want a different URL, I build blogs without the Blog module. For blog pages, I make it using Views and theme modification. I find it more flexible that way than using the Blog module. Nothing less except more flexible and extensible because it using generic approach.

I stumbled upon the Blog module for Drupal 8. I just wonder why the Blog module still exist. Why are there people still building it, if we can building it with the available modules and theming?

Is there anything good I missed in the Blog module?
