Because any time I think "nobody would need that" I find a world of people I didn't know about. You can't ever predict the usage, so flexibility and defaults aren't about what fits most people's use cases but what can be easily modified to use cases of any group. I'm definitely too dumb to figure out what everyone actually needs lol
