If you keep going along that train of thought... What's the point of a 20% ABV fortified wine? What's the point of a 32% ABV liqueur? What's the point of a 45% ABV whiskey? What's the point of a 55% ABV brandy? What's the point of a 65% ABV vodka? What's the point of a 74% ABV absinthe? What's the point of a 95% ABV rectified spirit?
Compared to that, a 9% ABV Double IPA or a 12% ABV Imperial Stout isn't really that high and it's completely accurate to style.
I would say that I enjoy beers at all ABV levels from 2% up to 20%, but the truth is that the strongest beer I've ever had was 16% ABV and I didn't care for it much, but I know that the reason I didn't care for it wasn't because it was "high alcohol."
The last beer I made was 9.7% ABV and the beer I made right before that was 6.1% ABV and the one before that was 5.7% ABV and the one before that was 6.9% ABV. So, in my opinion, most of my beers are in the "average" range, but some people would consider that on the high side. Eh.
