Because 99 times out of a hundred you use them to cut through some sort of adhesive packing which gums it up or you are using it for something another tool would be better at but this is what you got and you are doing things to it that would be terrible to do to a high quality knife but you don’t care because it’s a $30 rip off knife. Also you are always prepared for leaving in your backpack accidentally and having the mother fucking TSA dump out your bottle of kumboucha and steal your fucking knife.
I’m all for high quality knives, but for multitasking utility gimmick like this, I’d go cheap every time.
Why do so many people carry shitty swiss army knife knockoffs…

Because they’re disposable and cheap, in case they get confiscated for any reason
I don’t know the brands shown, but it doesn’t need to be Swiss army brand to be good.
Those silver ones with the rubber nubs are given out like candy by people on sales calls and the like.
They’re not bulky and people won’t look at you like you jumped out of West Side Story when you open a plastic package or box with one.
They get them while at their destination and lose them on their flight home.
