The "giving a talk" is to introduce newer students to these fields. If you don't introduce undergrads to real research, they never learn about the possibilities they have to study in the future. It is probably really annoying to have to do it, but I think some have forgotten that the research and results aren't the only important thing to come from research, but also the passing of knowledge and experience that is important.
