To me, most artists don't write their songs, so it doesn't matter.
Besides, covers don't automatically = unoriginal. To me it's creative that they took a song they must have really liked and wanted to sing, and put their own edge to it.
It's just for fun imo.

Adding to the originality thing, there are times when the covered song is better than the original. Like incorporating a new music style, new arrangement or a tempo change is creative because when the song was covered, everything could have been left as is and it's something only the artist/band came up with.
Also, cover songs give you an insight to their favourite artists/bands and type of music.
