It is. I wasn’t being specific enough, sorry. Actual use in terms of evolutionary fitness. There are no reasons for them evolutionarily other than they are a byproduct of fetal development.
That’s the thing with natural selection though, as long as a trait isn’t deleterious and it’s common enough it’ll generally stick around. There’s no pressure for males to not have nipples.
Licking is an actual use.

Totally agree with your point. But it’s also not something that will actively promote fitness.
Anything that makes people hornier and more likely to procreate is an evolutionary advantage.
I suppose you’re right. It’s not just things that help things live longer or thrive in a specific environment.
