PvP is not something I particularly enjoy. I would be all for it being implemented if that's what people wanted, though.

Why does PvE have to be competitive ?
.
It doesn't have to be. I am simply discussing my own preferences.

Most of this game is about PvE, so I would prefer to compete on that level. It's what I personally enjoy the most.

An Athlete competes against other people at something they are good at, just as a PvP players competes against others for the same purpose, competing to claim a monster for bragging rights seems a bit childish. (and lets not fool ourself bragging rights is what it normally boils down to)
This game is mostly PvE. If you're good at the game, you're good at PvE. Therefore, competing on that level is competing at the game's core gameplay.

It is what I and many other people enjoy. No one is telling you that you have to feel the same way, but a significant portion of the player base enjoy competing at the PvE level. They enjoy pitting their linkshell against other linkshells.
