Theres absolutely no situation in playing the guitar where having a stronger pinky finger is a great benefit. If your guitars are set up correctly you should be able to fret a 13 guage string with any finger with minimal effort. Bending is a different story, but nobody bends with their pinky fingers anyway. I've been playing 11 years and I've never seen it. Ever. I've seen it used in a bend, but only ever when supported by another finger.
sigh* it is not pointless, i know nobody does it, and it isnt something people do when they play guitar, but your pinky doing it itself would build more strength.
more strength = faster pinky
and beside the fact, even if it IS pointless is it a crime to be curious and want to compare?
