I can't see a darn thing wrong with the old brakes.

No not a waste of money but cheap insurance. One of the brake hubs was sticking and as the trailer is going on 13 years old I decided to just replace them. Now if I was one of those guys that never tow their camper more than 20 miles down the road then you are correct. However we tend to travel with ours through mutable states at a time on busy highways. I have been in close calls because of idiots on the road. I once had a car cut me off and then blow up just in front of me. I managed to not hit them and get off the highway so I could help get them out of their burning car. I want my rig to stop when I need it to stop. Not I hope it stops as I have never replace the brakes in 13 years. Yes that old hub in the picture although rusty was still working. Other hubs on the camper were not working as they should. I do not want to have to fix a brake hub from an old brake shoe that broke off when I am 1000 miles from home.
