You enjoy playing chess. Others enjoy organising engine tournaments. Its fun, so
why shouldn't they do it? Not to mention it is helpful to chess engine
programmers like me.

>isnt watching two engines play very boring for you?

Actually, no. I was a 800 Elo player once. Just by watching engines play, I
learnt a lot of tactical tricks and my Elo improved to nearly 1200. That is
still very weak, but I think anybody can improve their tactical strength by
watching/analysing engine play.
