The real truth is that they are status symbols for rich douchenozzles who (clearly) barely know how to drive them, let alone have any interest in testing the car's limits.
For the rare driver who is actually interested in making use of the performance, though, there are options. First of all, there are times and places where you can get away with exceeding the speed limit on public roads. I'm not saying it's a great idea, but the fact is that most drivers speed every now and then.
The safer and smarter way is to take the car to track days at a race course. Most of them set aside days where members of the pubic can take their cars out and test their limits in a controlled environment. There's even a trend toward "country club" tracks, where you can get a membership and make use of the track more or less whenever you want. If you can afford a million dollar supercar, the fees for something like this are chump change and well worth the investment.
