Er yes because we all pay taxes directly or indirectly and don't use all the services they pay for, why should this be any different? I find it interesting that some of the most vocal on social justice on this forum are swerving this tax even though it pays for free licences for the over 75s, the age may be raised or the free licence scrapped altogether as more and more people stop paying "because they don't use the service".
