there's one reason for lists like that- to sell more shit.

:-)
Aside from the fact that these lists in OP are not quality - the purpose of such lists is that people who read many books might find some new ideas of what books they possibly pay attention to. Something similar to when you want to watch some movie and since you watched "all of them" you may go to some top 100 list to get ideas. Not that the lists TELLS you to watch it, you just go and fish for something new.
