A person that wants most out of his engine should at least chiptune it , a airfilter is just a bunch of bollux.

Wait, it is affordable and people seek excuses to jusitfy their purchase rather than spending more money on it and do improve their engines performance.

You'll likely get more HP/$ for the air filter then a reflash.
The flash for my car I got for $665 and gave me ~ 40 HP. That's about $16 / HP.
Say you buy a filter for $20 and it gives you 2 HP. Now, that's certainly not enough power to make any difference at all, but that was only $10 / HP.

It it worth it? Sure, why not?

Of course, that's not quite fair. For $665 I purchase a physical product, the AccessPort, which I can re-use in the future for additional flashes. For example, when I purchase / install a new downpipe I can (for free) flash to stage 2, gaining me another 20 or so HP, and reducing the overall $ / HP cost.
