FIRST didn't have to do any engineering or manufacturing (which in itself would probably be just as expensive as the truss) and don't have to worry about replacing broken parts.
I don't see any argument as to how the presence of the trusses proves that there will be an endgame that involves hanging.

Aren't they used for the support of the black curtain behind the FMS people?
Maybe with the expansion of districts, event dates are more spread out and the small venues can't handle such a large display, so therefore they probably had extras on hand.
