Don’t drive with higher RPMs have higher transfer rates? I find it hard to believe that people are complaining about better performance.

Higher transfer rates, but also higher noise and power consumption (and presumably higher failure rates, but I'm less certain about that) - if you don't need the higher speed, 5400rpm drives are actually better.
