Because you can, Convenience, and compatibility.
Since linux became the OS of the internet, people have been able to run the same software on their own computer. It's more convenient to just run the "server software" on your own machine and you have full control over it.

You shouldn't shoot yourself in the foot because you can - it doesn't seem particularly convenient to wait > 10 minutes for tests because the laptop CPU is overheating when a proper development server would be twice as fast even with (clumsy) single-core tests.
