Cuz itz sick init!
.... seriously tho I think it comes from couriers fixxxin up old road bikes and just changing the rear bc its the only one you need to change...
...since then it has moved to the mainstream and is more a nod to fixieings cultural routes than anything else (bc if you can spend £100+ on cranks/hubs/etc you can afford to match your rims).
NB. [BTW all of this is fact not opinion so you can't disagree]
