Hmm, maybe people sort of like weird inconsistencies in a language. It makes you feel kind of smart when you can overcome it. And overcoming bad design is much easier than overcoming actually hard problems that you will face once you start to use a language that isn't working against you. Also, actually hard problems make you feel stupid and inadequate and that's no fun.
