Because why wouldn't you use a thumbie or a trigger? On a drop bar, having the shifters on the bars either dictates the levers for you or you have bar-ends and jab yourself in the knee all the time. But on a flat bar you have better options. Especially when there's another thumbie already. Each to their own though

I quite like it, looks improvised (even if it might not be) and something a little different - although obviously having them to hand is quite nice too

Depends on the overall point of the bike I guess.
Nice to have a clean cockpit free of cables and stuff on the bar. Especially if using a bar bag occasionally.
There's enjoyment in the simplicity as well.
That said, my experience is that having no sweep in the bars and reaching down to shift can make what is already awkward, even more difficult. I'd get some bars with sweep.
