Probably because lots of official Debian on-line help says to use apt-get (such as http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs, and even the Installation Manual here http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s03.html.en#id2770167). If the user is relatively new to Debian like me, they probably just followed directions.
