I think you're right to some degree; I just went through a bunch of user pages and did basic stuff like making the images blend in, etc., because it was easy to raise my edit count on those pages. But if there weren't badges like that, I might not have been as motivated to correct all those articles. As long as your edits are helpful, they all add up. I have not really done many useless edits for badges in while though.
