Red face Why take off when destination will be closed?

Hello, I am a reader for years, but now I have a question to ask:
Ryanair flight from Dublin to Stuttgart. We sit in the plane for nearly 3 hours. After 20:00 local it was clear to me that we will not reach Stuttgart, due to their hard stance on the 23:00 curfew (noise problems).
But at 20:37 we start rolling, captain says we fly to Stuttgart, but OF COURSE we fly to Frankfurt/Hahn. We arrive in buses at STR at 04:00 the next day.
WHY??
What is the bean counters spreadsheet saying? Too many passengers unaware of their rights (250 EUR you can get due to EU regulations)? Hotel in Dublin too expensive?
I really don't get it :-/
