Do you care about everything on HN? Other people care.

I didn't say I don't care. I'm asking to be educated, unfortunately instead I'm being downvoted.

Your phrasing is perceived as passive aggressive. If you wanted to be educated a better phrasing could be: "what makes this event important?", or "can anyone explain why is this on the front page?"

The phrase "why should I care?" Is most often used simply to say you don't care, kinda like a rhetorical question

And I thought prefixing it with "Honest question:" would convey tone. Thanks for the lingo tips, next time I'll type more eloquently.
