The same reason you like to include extra vowels in your words when you don't need them.
Traditionalists for no reason.

Once I had to give customer service to someone in our branch in Brazil and I had to get in a translator as I don't speaker Portuguese. So I asked this guy what's the difference between Portuguese.....Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. He said, genuinely, the Portuguese spoken in Portugal is like English people speaking English,while the Portuguese spoken in Brazil is like Americans speaking English. Yeah, he didn't mean it as a compliment to Americans.

I would assume there's the same difference between Castilian Spanish and So American, Caribbean, Central American and Mexican Spanish.

I don't know why anyone ever called the Irish lazy. One hard language wasn't enough - they had to have two.
