Not writing for an audience is, IMO, the #1 problem with student writing assignments. I don't think an imaginary audience cuts it. Writing for no other purpose than a grade undermines the value of the skill. Kids could be writing real children's books, thank you letters, etc.https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1142643056547471360 …
Things people want to/feel compelled to say are to my mind "worth saying." I'm imagining the inane prompts many kids force themselves on, e.g. "write five paragraphs on what you did this summer." IMO we're training kids to create sentences whether or not they have anything to say

With that I agree. I just think having "consumable" as a goal for kids writing may not produce the best results.
