From a culinary standpoint they have a lot of upside, more flavor, different texture and a runny yolk in a ramen, for example, changes the consistency of the ramen. It just makes everything richer and more unctuous. That's what egg yolks are used for in any kind of cooking.
I like a runny yolk, but like an over easy egg, rather than a sunny side up... I also like scrambled eggs that are not dried out, but my stomach turned a few posts back when someone was waxing poetic about "wet" scrambled eggs.
