Because PvP is basically infinite free content for people who like the game loop. I've had friends who love that sort of thing and they can play forever because they're putting their skills against real people who aren't just basic AIs.

You can also just play PvE like helldivers over and over again. But people seem to like the idea of winning by putting someone else down.
