Yes I know it is, but you could say the same about 99.9% of jobs. But if people are already being paid the money it must make sense to try and get them to actually be doing something as well.

Plus if the only way to get JSA is to do the more dull/unpleasant/soul destroying jobs that "nobody wants to do" then it might provide more incentive for the career unemployed to re-evaluate their career.

Plus when I was unemployed I wasn't hunting for jobs 37.5 hours a week.
