Are Gold plugs/sockets a gimmick ?

Gold plugs and sockets ...
I really think for any audio application it's a waste of
gold and some sucker's money. For high signal quality in
computers and such it makes sense.
Gold is OK for applications where there is modest activity, and a harsh
environment.
It's not good for connectors that are mated and unmated a lot.
For cost reasons, the use of gold is minimized in careful designs.
