Because the setup is different, some distros use debian packages, others
have their own repositories using the debian packaging system (much like
other "redhat"-ish distros do with rpm).
Would be like why use another rpm distro when you can just use Fedora.
They are the inventor, yet other people may do the job better for their
needs/desires. Just different choices because Debian wasn't good enough.
Also debian stable historically has been very old on packages and unstable
was the only way to stay current, till recently when unstable was truely
unstable.
Just preference really. People in distros (at least I know of Ubuntu and
Debian) work together for the most part, not battle.
