Would it be convincing if users assert that they find it helpful? In abstract, the rationale is that it allows users to select a package without going through the possibly-time-consuming process of evaluating. You want to use software where you know there are many other users who like it. There is a lot of packages on PyPI that is in a rough state, and you don't want to try five packages that all don't work well before settling on the one that everybody else uses.
