Scenarios Feedback

My reaction to them is "is that all there is?" because they are less challenging than ones simmers come up with, and you don't get anything for completing them anyway, so am I missing the point? They seem like they could be exciting but they're just too easy. Like a participation trophy. People who have played both simmer-made challenges and these, and find these to be worth getting excited about, what's your take? I want to appreciate them better, maybe I'm just not viewing them in the right light?
