Because the system runs some services as other users, not yourself.
Even if you ran a system as one personal user and one system user, it's
still a multi-user system, and once the mechanism is in place, you may
as well provide the ability to have more than one user.  Having users is
one way of separating what a person should normally be able to do, and
what they should normally being prevented from doing.

Or were you being facetious?

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
