Chris - whilst one can look at them solely the context of TfL's real
job of moving people from A to B, I think it fair to say that they are
a small but important part of 'brand London' - and whilst they might
be costly to run, the tourist promotion folks would surely argue that
they are worthwhile investment in terms of tourism.

Absolutely.

They're certainly one of the iconic images of London, along with the Clock
Tower, the London Eye, Tower Bridge and so on.

FWIW a Google Image search for "London" includes 7 Clock Towers, 4 London
Eyes, a couple of Gherkins and two Routemasters in the first 20 results.
