Why do zerchers exist?

This is totally off-topic from the other recent posts but why the fuck do zercher squats exist, what genius decided that instead of back squats you should have all your squat weight concentrated in a small bar on the crease of your elbow? It's just pain. Fuck zerchers, but at the same time they are pretty cool and a massive flex. 
 

One of the sets I did like 30 minutes ago, wasn't much fun as you can see.

As much as these suck, they're the best form of a front squat. You may not realize it, but you're working 10x as hard to stay upright and stabilized, AKA, more abs, glutes, and traps activation.
