I think one reason may be this, there are people on this list that have more experience than a lot of devs. By that, I mean real life experience. Sometimes what devs expect doesn't actually happen in real life situations. For example, when testing a file system and how it frags, large files, small files or medium size files? Are these files changing or once saved they never change? So, sometimes asking a person who actually uses something can have better advice than the person that created it. Just saying.
