I've worked on these sort of "5%" / "just in case" projects before and mainly accepted them because they were deeply technical, difficult and I was sure I was gonna learn a lot from them, no matter if we got the go ahead to ship them or not. Sometimes I was the only one in the company who wanted to work on it, while other times it was something everyone wanted to jump on, I guess the conclusion is that different people find different things interesting. Some people like porting software to different platforms for example :)
