I'm not a tactical guy, my guns are all of the sporting variety. What good is a threaded barrel on this rifle, just to add a non-functioning suppressor ? It's just for show, right ?

For a .22, the only two possible benefits are:
0) The possible addition of a silencer.
1) The addition of weight at the end of the barrel to reduce vibration, and thus improved shot-to-shot consistency. The weight can be in the form of a heavy flash suppressor or muzzle brake. A flash suppressor is not necessary on a .22 to suppress flash.
I bought a version of the 15-22 that did not have a threaded barrel, but a local gun shop did threaded it for me for less than $50.
