People use software for the exact same reasons.
All 3 could also apply to anal sphincters.

There was a short bleep on track 2 of the remastered b-sides + rarities released back in 2003. That bleep cost $100K. But damn it sure was a nice sounding bleep ;)
What if Reznor's entire climb to wealth and status was so that he could afford wonderful machines like that?

Sit around, smoke pot, smoke cigarettes, drink coffee, play with the Buchla. Don't need to record anything.

Now THAT'S luxury. More fun than a computer game.

I wouldn't call myself a producer but as a musician and a mixing engineer, I use hardware because of the interface. I also use a lot of software, but usually I prefer to have something like a Nektar Panorama (not-so-subtle-advertisement) to interact with parameters, rather than a mouse and keyboard.

For me, it has almost to nothing to do with the sound. There are a few things I have that impart a special character (some 500 series modules, API 2500, UBK Fatso, etc.) but the individual character is less important than getting the sound I want. For me it is easier to get sound I want when I have when I have the immediacy of real-time controls. Perhaps it's a psychological thing. I certainly would not say that hardware sounds *better* than software (without a qualifier and/or a specific example).

I use hardware because it's what I prefer to use. Few of the reasons for that preference are related to the sound.

That would be your area of expertise.

I imagine your a man who has got his finger on the problem all the time.

...stays in uranus, but basically the same as in Pluto, just less ice and dead bodies involved after massive parties, because on a Pluto alcohol freezes up quicker.
