   You may as well ask why gamers bother to display their fps & temperature.   
      
   Some people are technically competent.   
   Many others are not.   
      
   Kids are technically competent when it comes to gaming performance metrics.   
   Most non-kids are not.   
      
   You appear to be a non kid non gamer.   
   So am I.   
      
   Your question shows either you're not a gamer.   
   Or you don't understand what stresses a system.   
      
   Have you never noticed gaming PCs with the FPS displayed on the screen?   
   It's constantly changing - and that's exactly why gamers HUD the FPS.   
      
   Technically competent gamers want to know FPS information in real time.   
   Look up MSI Afterburner for just one of many examples of related tools.   
      
   They even have temperature displayed constantly as they stress graphics.

   That's likely why Google has that option in every Android phone.   
   Just like General Motors put a speedometer into every car they sold.
