Is it just me that sometimes likes to see what somebody's ilvl is? Maybe if I'm comparing myself to another DPS, maybe if I want to see how far ahead of me some of my FC friends are, maybe I want to know exactly why the level 50 paladin in my Stone Vigil group is dying faster than I am (his ilvl was about 28 after I did some math, btw) so I could tell him the reason, maybe I'm a leader of a FC that has a minimum ilvl requirement, maybe I want to know why the party kicked me in favor of the other Dragoon, the list can go on and on.

Not necessarily. That's why we have a party finder. However if I do happen to be in a dungeon with somebody that I joined via the duty roulette and someone is doing really poorly, I'd like to know if his gear is the reason so I can recommend he advance it.
