Because sometimes it's more convenient. If you feel it's unsafe, don't do it. I'll use QNH when appropriate, usually when flying cross country or landing at another airfield, & QFE if staying local.
This isn't about whether people should use one or the other, it's about the utter boring-ness of people telling other people how they should fly, the obsession with uniformity & conformity by people who cannot conceive that someone else should do something differently.
