Because some people use them? What other reason would be needed. :)
Seriously, don't you think it would be cool to be the one hardware
device that support them? Just another reason for someone to join our
community, vs choosing another device.

I don't really hate them, I just don't think their design is all that
brilliant. The standard seems to be so poorly written, that much
software/hardware implements the standard incorrectly, leading to
incompatibilities in software and hardware players. ID3v1.x are more
appropriate to the uses of most users, and much less problem-pron.
Not a big deal when using a player like the rockbox, but as a general
rule, I like my MP3s to be as universal playable as possible.
