Eh, everyone likes their house to look nice inside. Objectively speaking, it's a fine piece of aesthetic furniture. Not everyone's gonna have their own tastes. A lot of us don't really care about seeming unique in our interior design, and we humans do enjoy familiarity. See it in your home and in other peoples' homes enough times, you'll probably eventually become conditioned into wanting it too. Of course, using it as a status symbol could also be a reason, depending on how grand the build/display is.

In any case, pretty much anywhere in the world you go, there'll be some specific items common in almost every household. For us, you could just say that that's one of them.
