In zerg I could make my name spam like an orbital strike alone by myself, but that wouldn't help the advancement of our troops in any way. I was just "sniping for myself". That's all there is to it.

Two quick points:
First, sniping helps immensely in aid to advance an army towards its goals. Two teams of two snipers could effectively clear out a courtyard, pin down advancing soldiers from tower/AMS's, and counter snipe enemy snipers.
Second, Planetside is a game. This obession with having to play 'strategically' or 'for the ultimate goal' is rubbish. Play to entertain yourself. Sometimes you might feel like being a commando, other times you might feel like jumping in the meat grinder. Both are acceptable gameplay choices. Neither is superior.
