it's good because everything points to the same place. you can verify that someone willingly commented and listed their fandoms on the actual post. no sneaking in friends, etc. or "missing" people who you don't like. it's an index of all the comments posted on the post, not all the letters across lj/dw.
like ayrt said, a big part of it is that that's always how thing have been done so going against the grain could be seen as incompetence.
