While I'm speaking second-hand on both, everything I've heard paints it like decaffeinated coffee, except more disgusting.

For socialization, I guess.

Hmm, interesting. The real reason decaf coffee tends to not taste as good is because lower-quality beans are used. The decaffeination process costs good money, and in order to make sure both the regular coffee and decaf coffee have the same price, that's taken out of the grade of coffee beans.

As someone who is both a teetotaler (I don't mind if other people consume alcohol) and very sensitive to caffeine (5 mg or less per 24 hours or I get insomnia), I can't really say for the quality of either, but I would be willing to pay more if I can get decaf coffee equal in quality to normal coffee.

I see no problem with this. There might be some people (people who don't drink alcohol due to religious belief or recovering alcoholics) who might want a beer with no alcohol.

Charlie Seen even was in Bavaria non alcohol beer ad.
