PR made it too easy for link buyers to determine where to buy links. That made gaming the system easier and was the opposite of what Google wanted. Instead of removing it entirely, Google left it up as a vestigial bit of misleading data to confuse and waste the resources of uninformed webmasters relying on badly outdated information.

PUBLIC PageRank is useless, but PageRank itself is highly valued part of Google's ranking algorithm, but hey, what do I know, I'm just another person with a opinion on Google. Everyone seems to have their own version of how Google ranks sites and nobody is right.
