why else write one? -- To provide helpful informative information and/or a neatly compiled opinion that has hopefully been well thought out, going into detail as to why things are or why the author thinks this. Even to rant about things.
Promoting a business doesn't really belong in an article that starts out philosophical. (hence the jarring sensation.)

You: "why else write one? -- To provide helpful informative information" And to promote yourself of course. Which is good for business. Even if that is not your intention. While many people prefer to comment anonymously on HN anecdotally I'm not aware of many bloggers that blog that way. (Even Fake Steve Jobs came out of the closet eventually).
