Why would you care about payments to other people?
The scriptPubKey's that you give to your payers certainly have meaning to y=
ou.

What is it important that you are able to calculate balances of
wallets that aren't yours?

Why would anyone "pay you" to a scriptPubKey you don't understand?

I can "pay" the bill of my internet services by burying cash in a park
nearby my house for my provider to pick up later.
But if I don't tell my provider, it will never know. If I inform it, I
will get an answer: "no, sorry, we won't accept this new 'form of
payment' of yours as payment".
