I mean, letting a program run in the background isn't really dedication to me. Dedication would be making awesome maps, winning PR2 contests, or beating a really difficult map. Maybe back in 2008 when no one knew what macroing on PR2 was? Sure, rank would've been impressive then, and taken dedication. Even as a rank 75 myself, I don't see that as dedication. Dedication is defined as the willingness to give a lot of time and energy to something, but we're not really doing that when we macro. We're not giving our time and energy, we're having a program do it for us. It's fun reaching crazy high ranks, sure. That's why I do it. But dedication? Not really.
