Vanity
When I was wearing 5XLT clothes, there wasn't a lot of choice. I pretty much had to buy whatever I could find that fit.
Now I have my choice, and find that I enjoy being picky also, but in a little different manner. I like being able to buy US made goods, and local products if at all possible. It takes some looking, but there are a lot of small companies out there making some really great stuff (for men at least -- I don't look at women's fashions). But pretty much all of this is available in a small range of sizes, not for the morbidly obese.
Having choices is nice.
