When pacticing it for health reasons and not for fighting as it is meant for, then you are only gaining a small percent of the benefits that it actually has to give.

I think that's fine, I'm all for people just practicing something for a very specific benefit and ignoring the rest... as long as they don't try and pass themselves off as expert teachers later on. without having a more complete understanding of the system. Unfortunately, a lot of rather healthy but half trained people end up charging money as teachers and passing on poor information about taiji quan. And since they don't know fully what they're doing, their own teaching is diluted diluted even further too the point where what they teach is only about as beneficial as walking around waving your arms in the air in slow motion :P
