What's their value then?

Just like with absolutely any other tool, their value is in what it enables humans using them to accomplish.

E.g., a hammer doesn't do anything, and neither does a lawnmower. It would be silly to argue (just because these tools are static objects doing nothing in the absence of direct human involvement) that those tools don't have a very clear value.
