Because you need one to work the computer in a more convenient manner.
I mean, really -- does everyone always use whatever default mouse gets sent out with the computer?
I decided to buy this nice five-button optical mouse with scroll wheel for my iBook, which is really nice for Internet surfing, because I've got right-click programmed to open a new tab, another button for closing tabs, and the last extra button for browsing back one page. It's handy, and well worth the money I spent on it.
So yeah, it sucks that Apple remains insistent on the plain one-button mouse. But is it really THAT big of a deal?

Er...why should I personally care enough to spend my own money on a mouse to use at work? I get paid just as much for wasted time as I do productive time.

Oh! I misunderstood where you were coming from with that. Sorry.

It is not like I am being paid megabucks, after all.
I actually use two computers, both G4s, I guess, and one has some boring Kensington thing attached and the other one of these, which I would not go so far as to describe as a "joy to use," but they do look nice.

I have Logitech mouse from happy building! It bring super fun time!
I really need to buy a battery recharger for it though. Or, more accuratly, I need to find the battery charger that I have, and put it next to my computer.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
