"Why not?" can mean a lot of different things. That's why it can be helpful to get an actual answer.

I thing the "Why not?" is another way of saying that you've put more effort into understanding the motivation behind this project than OP did.
That would be wasted effort, though. Sure, I can come up with a dozen potential reasons. But I want to know the actual reason(s).
I can't tell if you're trolling. Sometimes I do stuff because "Why not?" sounded like a good idea, and I reckon others do, too. That's all I've got.
