I know that that was on the first page...but I agree with their point.
I used to hate chopsticks when I was little...but now I get annoyed trying to shovel stuff like rice in my mouth with a fork, versus picking up up with chopsticks. chopsticks aren't necessarily easier - in that, you have to actually learn how to use them...but once you take the time to do so, IMO it makes for a better way of eating.
now to answer directly the question "why do they?" ...probably b/c it's traditional. and...why not?
it's just a different culture. that's all.
