I think the benefit of coffee over pills is that you actually need to get/make it, then drink it, which acts as a natural limit to intake (most people will feel sick after drinking several coffees)

Yeah I can't defend the existence of caffeine pills. They're actually dangerous and you could just drink coffee instead.
Almost every pharmacy drug is dangerous if you take too much of it.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that they shouldn't exist. They're quite useful in certain circumstances.
