You're calling it a utility.

I guess you're just going to define it a utility, ham sandwhich is also a utility.

I'm not sure if English isn't your first language, but many words have several meanings. For example "providing utility" means "to provide something of use" per this[1] definition:

  Utility, or usefulness, is the (perceived) ability
  of something to satisfy needs or wants.
