The game data including artwork sound etc might have more value but
perhaps the gaming engine is nice for other developers to base their
work on it. Its not bad to have it in extras if anyone is interested in
doing that.
Usually people fork the engine code for their own projects so I doubt
having the q3 engine in Extras (without supplementing artwork) has much
benefit.
