The goal of the exercise is to strengthen your relative pitch and tonal orientation without relying on external harmonic cues, like cadences or tonal anchors. In real world listening and musicianship, melodies often come without warning or context, and this challenge reflects that reality.

yeah, but you get to play at least one note on the instrument or remember how the previous one sounds. this exercise doesn’t allow for that

That doesn't make any sense, because you show the scale degrees afterwards, and I heard something entirely different. Like P1 P4 M6 P4, whereas I heard P5 P1 M3 P1. This isn't relative pitch.

I can follow the arguments in tonegym's answer. Anyway,they charge money, because they can ...

@Johnny Silverhand Exactly: unless you're playing atonal music, melodies are always heard relative to a tonal centre. This is true even of monophonic textures, and even more so of the typical melody-plus-accompaniment texture, in which melodies are only ever sounded against a meaningful harmonic background.
