I like how you put "pure" in quotes because the way they keep those lines healthy is by occasionally mixing in other breeds.

No, it's because I find the idea and the importance attached to it idiotic.

Having said that, I also believe it doesn't automatically mean a breed is inbred and/or has health problems.
