There area few reasons i can think of-- the most obvious one is availability 
of parts and accessories. If you show up to photograph the governor's speech 
with a 110 camera and realize you're out of film, you're out of luck. If 
you're using what everybody else is using it's easier to get or borrow 
lenses/memory cards/iphone chargers. Another one is simple simian attempts 
at duplication. If I see something wonderfully lit I'm very curious as to 
what light modifiers were used because I want to be able to duplicate it. 
Thirdly, I think anybody who's on a listserv dedicated to a piece of 
equipment is probably predisposed to be curious about equipment....
