people want to be different just for the sake of being different. a .270 / 30.06 / .300 WIN Mag can kill just about anything in North America at long and near ranges. If you start exploring other cartridges you're just doing it out of hobby or to be sharp. For instance.... I love a 25/06 but only because I've always fawned over that cartridge..... not for any practical application. I'm not going to get on here and try to convince others its some magic round, I just like it.
I wish more people would just say what you said above, but I think a lot of folks feel like they have to justify it by making claims that some of these less common rounds are somehow superior.
