In razz, you are playing for an A(1)2345, right?

No. That's like saying in Stud High you're playing for a royal flush, right? What's so interesting about that? Answer: nothing.

In razz, you are playing for an A(1)2345, right? Is this any different from simply playing toward the same thing, an AKQJT Broadway straight, in the other direction (ignoring suits for flushes of course)? Would anyone want to play a game like that? Why then, razz?

This question is all wrong.

You are playing to make the winning hand. The winning hand will be nearer to A2345 when you are playing in loose passive games then in any other type of Razz game. Heads up, you would not be playing for A2345 or you would just end up playing too few hands. Yes, Razz is simpler than a lot of poker games but it is not that simple.

I like Razz.
