Because 99% of the people use them as a band aid for the real problem (like lack of preouts or just a plain shatty tonal response from real shatty speakers) and the other 1% use them to solve an identified problem in the system that makes a EQ necessary.

Figure out if you are in the 1% or the 99%, my bet is the latter.

A real EQ is not a graphic eq that adjusts all the frequencies around the one indicated. A real EQ is a Parametric device that allows you to zero in on a specific frequency and either boost or cut that frequency while adjusting the width around that frequency at the same time. It is most commonly used with a RTA to zero in on that problem in the audio spectrum.
