I don't know many people who explicitly chase segments on strava, although it is a social tool, the essence of strava is sharing data, so those who are naturally competitive will read the data and compete against what they see as the competition. Segments are just one aspect of that, if you removed segments people would soon find another way to compete. Some people do realise how futile segment chasing is and just use strava as a social tool and to monitor their own performance and that of friends and club members without it being a constant race.
