I'm not sure many people would pay for a movie ticket just to see a 15 minute fight without context.

I'm sure they wouldn't, but I question why not. Honestly, the rest of the stuff was pretty boring and really not worth the time I spent watching it.

It's like paying for a burger and a plateful of green peppers (or insert a food that you dislike) that you'd have to eat, vs paying for just the burger.

Well, speaking just for myself as a kaiju fan who watches the films primarily for the monsters, I still prefer them to come packaged in a full length movie to give the monsters context and establish the world and story around them. I didn't find the human drama in this particular film very compelling but I'm still glad there was some to provide a setup, otherwise it would've felt rather disconnected and incomplete.
