What does U4 do?

Provides a Vcc/2 local "ground" so I can use these op amps with a single
supply voltage.

More useful to let it oscillate as a square wave generator at 100kHz
or so, and rectify the output into a negative 15V rail. That way you
can run the op amps the way they are meant to be run.

What is wrong with using an op-amp to "amplify" DC? Surely they are
"meant" to do that.
