Because you take time in doing them? I'm not sure why you're puzzled about it.

Example: me and one of my friends started playing around patch HW and when we got to the Anima weapons I think it took us months to get the first one. Because we enjoy the fact that we worked hard for them we use them as glamour on those jobs (BLM and PLD) most of the time. Those weapons aren't exactly that difficult to get today (the one step that took me hours sitting in a pf repeating A1S over and over now is 20 or less quick unsynced runs of A9S) but they still mean something to ME.

You can pretty much say that about any reward in this game. Most of them get easier over time but you will still see people say this mount is their favorite, or this minion is, or this title.
