There's no excuse to completely change the meaning of a question. Perhaps a comment that "why" questions don't really fit the format of StackOverflow would have been a better choice.
WHY questions are not good use cases for what Stack Overflow is trying to accomplish. WHY questions to a community that isn't the original developer of a tool have subjective answers and Stack Overflow is trying to be a place of objective problem solving. Possibly your question was better suited for an app like Quora.
