That way you don't have to re-invent the wheel all the time, and you can benefit from other people's experiences. The idea of profile-guided optimisation is 60 years old, according to Wikipedia - it's pretty much as old as programming languages. It's not really a difficult thing to think of - though implementing it well is far from trivial.
