Because, for some folks, it's fun to compete.

Why do folks do amateur sports competitively? (As soon as you start keeping 
score and following specific rules, you're being competitive).

And consider this: The Ancient Ones were working the Antipodes on HF 75+ 
years ago with simple regenerative receivers, wire antennas and oscilator 
transmitters putting out a few watts of RF power. All of the improvements in our 
methods, rigs and antenna systems since then have been the direct results of radio 
competition of various kinds.
