Because it sounds better to thick people. Like using "aqua" instead of "water"
on shampoo ingredients. Or when a product is packed with sugar, using 3 or 4
different types of sugar just so that sugar doesn't appear in the top few
ingredients. Or "made with extra virgin olive oil", when there is 0.01% extra
virgin olive oil and 10% vegetable oil in the product.
