Sure it does harm. It fucks with people's stats, and serves as a hitbot for those blogs which post their refs on their main page. Aside from that, it's meant as a black hat se technique.

It's the same as blogspamming, guestbookspamming, IM-spamming, etc. Just one more thing to make the internet just that little bit worse of a place for users.
