In a perfect world, I agree with you.
On the other hand, in travel ball tournments (where I see protest fees), I see a funtion being served.
Believe it or not, I have run across more than one coach who would protest things rules with out any backing.
The fee is kind of a "put your money where you mouth is" and helps prevent wasting time (which seems to be the an issue with tournaments)
I've seen a wide range a fees charged - I would prefer the charge not to be ridiculous - but enough to make the coach think....
