I think it boils down to the future uses of the SMT. In many cases, people will be collecting the pre-SMTs as a side benefit with the main goal being an upvote from the dApp. However the SMTs that will be sought after and more highly valued (perhaps even eclipsing steem itself) are the ones like HUNT tokens that have a clearly defined and articulated usage in planning.
The benefits derived from holding a particular token will define their value.
Thanks @taskmaster4450, I always appreciate your posts.
