People who like this sort of thing, like things that are needlessly hard. Like climbing up a mountain by crawling backwards feet first. Sure it took a lot more sweat to get there, and maybe you are personally proud of conquering the large amounts of unneeded extra effort it took, and enjoying pointless cognitive overload as a way of life. Primary gain for such mindsets is it creates a barrier to entry for most people that doesn't really need to be there and perhaps allows a false sense of job security.
