Because it isn't work the way you see work. Is it really work if at any moment I can say to myself, "This isn't working for me. I'm outa here." and not just be able to leave but leave with zero consequences. Not the type of, "You're going to have to put me down as a reference" or "don't burn bridges" type consequences. You don't care about bridges. If you needed a bridge you'd buy one. You know all the bullshit you have to deal with because you need healthcare, to pay your mortgage or car payment? Not a problem. You get to speak your mind and if someone doesn't like it, including your boss, too bad.
The funny thing is you're probably not going to be characterized as someone with a bad attitude. Quite the opposite, you're going to be called a "straight shooter", someone who "tells it like it is", "unflappable" and "supremely confident in their abilities".
So ya, you get some social interaction, few if any consequences and people tell you what a great person you are all day. Why not?

It can remove hesitation about how to play different situations, and can allow one to become a "straight shooter" and sometimes get some nice opportunities within the organization or in a new one. Being able to say that you're leaving because the situation isn't working for you is a powerful position to be in (and can add about 10 years of life expectancy back that you may have lost due to stress in the beginning of your career).
