Why do people make such a big deal about shark fin soup, why not just make shark soup? Is there such a big difference between the fin and the rest of the shark?

In Japanese traditional medicine it is said that shark fins are good for health and general health, but the fins are literally just cartilage, having no nutritional value, and being quite common nowadays being contaminated with heavy metals as mercury and lead. Shark meat isn’t tasty nor nutritional or even easy to catch.
That being said, the ruckus about shark fin/meat is unjustified, being held by the outdated beliefs of an ineffective medicine and the society around who refuses to change its ways
