BPU - the future in gaming hardware

What’s a BPU? Only the future piece of hardware that every gaming system will have to have. It’s a Big-moment Processing Unit. What’s a big moment? It’s a richly cinematic experience that only interactive entertainment can provide! Creating these big moments is very processor intensive, so soon we shall have this specially created processor to offload the work of creating these cinematic masterpieces. The BPU will have special instructions to accelerate the common operations in creating big moments - ridiculously over the top explosions, close or awkward cameras that make playing the game hard but make it seem more exciting, and extraneous particle systems that don’t make any logical sense. Be sure that on any hardware you are thinking about developing for, they support BPUs or BPU expansion packs.

Essential for the elaborate "Game Over" screens that the Next Generation promises.

and games that rely on BPU's solely as their crutch to draw people in aren't worth my time

Maybe they aren't worth your time, but they certainly sell well. And in the end, isn't that all that matters?
