why do people put funky arsed stocks on good guns?

I saw a mossberg 500 today at benton shooters that had a bullpup style stock on it. It looked like garbage, felt even worse and was heavier than a AR-50...

This was totally impractical. The action release was in the buttstock, the LOP sucked, felt like holding a concrete block, and it was awkward (sp?) to hold because of the weight distribution.
