It's kind of the purpose of any character in a series, really.

For instance, despite their personalities, the Frontier trio were mainly plot devices themselves, all tied to the plot because of their connections to each other or the ones involved (i.e. Alto to Ranka who is a survivor of Galia 4; Sheryl to Grace who is her parental guardian/producer).

It's not an insult; characters benefit from their story; people benefit from their relationships. Ergo, Mirage benefits from her supporting role because of her friendship with Hayate and Freyja.
