Though I do agree it's kind of odd many, many Olympic sports (equestrian, athletics, swimming, rowing, maybe triathlon? etc) have their own world championships as well as the Olympics.
I also find it interesting that there is a Wimbledon each year to find the best grass court player.

In the end, with the Olympic cycle, there's a need for tracking of progress and competitions outside of it. Just because something is the pinnacle doesn't devalue the other competitions.
