It's more or less all the same purpose, though, for those sequences. They're meant for popular genre consumption, and as such follow a similar, safe formula. The narrative purpose of shots in an auteur film are more likely to be specific to the auteur's unique intentions, rather than just genre conventions established for the purpose of driving profit.

But does the intentions of one, single person supersede the intention of many?

If one person makes a drawing to make a ton of people happy, it's not suddenly not art.

If another person makes art to make themselves happy, it's not suddenly not art.

Both are art, and the only one who can say 'this is high art' is the person viewing them. Intentions don't matter in the end, personal enjoyment does.
