You've still created a tangible product, that someone gets utility value out of, and they could potebtially resell if needed.

The good itself is produced by employees, has material inputs from suppliers, contributes to the economy in other ways.

I can agree with reselling part (not sure if it works for every luxury item, but I guess in general it should). But economically it's still the same. Revenue makes salaries, taxes, it contributes to specific research areas (as other commenter noted bot detection got funded by this induatry) etc.
