I think the simplest answer is the correct one: People new to FL see that choosing a destination will determine their profession, rewards and attributes. They don't know yet that all of these things are meaningless and can be easily changed later on. They think that this choice will have deep effects on their character, so they visit this Wiki to find out which is the right choice. I know that's how I felt when I first saw that option.

Incidentally, this gives you a rough estimate of how popular FL is and how many new player it attracts.

Off topic: Since I'm here I'd like to ask Jemann to take over the calculation spreadsheet (i.e. copy it into your Google Drive and I'll close this one):

You're much better at this sort of thing :)
