Because hiring decisions are not only made to increase a company's revenue, you also want to not hate showing up to work everyday.

Because excitement in any form is contagious, and I'd rather work alongside someone who is excited about something than someone who is not.

As an employee, I will burn out much faster in an environment where no one wants to be there than an environment where people share their curiosities and passions, even if they are not immediately work related.
