I don't ever see kids wanting or buying legends, to me this is purely for the adult collector who is spending his hard earned $20. As far as I can tell the only thing empty on the pegs week after week are the Legends figures.
All toys need to appeal to kids in some way, even Marvel Legends and Mattel's Multiverse. Hasbro and Mattel may be aiming more for adult collectors and comic fans with some of their choices (like a Mandroid BAF or a '78 General Zod), but those toys still have to follow safety laws and regulations which are written with the premise that children - not adults - will be playing with them. Just look at the age ranges on the packaging to see what I mean.

The point is they are toys, just like anything else in the toy section. I definitely think there is some appeal for kids when it comes to ML. They're big toys, so you do get more for your (parent's) $20 than that $10 MU/MI or that $7 5POA figure. And what kid doesn't like big toys?

I'm guessing you're not a parent, then. You'd be surprised what your kids will get you to buy for them sometimes.
