I would guess the majority of time in general aviation is not for the purpose of travel. It's a hobby.

If you're assuming it is a hobby then comparing it to car/motorcycle usage for travel is useless/invalid.

Yes, exactly.

A lot of it is to give pilots the experience they need to qualify to fly commercial airliners, also.
