Why do people care what their speaker wants?

Real speakers are 'alive', just like instruments. 

Harbeths want Stradivarius' varnish and Tektons want flush-mounted bass drivers.

When I switched to Lowther Fidelios (well, actually when I paired them with 300B SET, bass was too shy with solid state), I noticed that there was a synergy between them and wind instruments.
I cannot say I cared, but the synergy was there, it was enjoyable, and it affected my listening choices.
After years I wanted smth. else, now Lowthers gather dust, but I’ll connect them again some day.

It could be earphones but with speakers you can play with more stuff in the chain.

What I mean is, people are always asking, "I have Wilson Sabrina, what cables should I get?" Or right now it's, "Speaker cable recommendation for Joseph audio perspectives2".  

But when its not that, its someone asking, "What power cord should I get for my Binford 2000 DAC?" Or, "What interconnect will go with my Bombastic Symphonic MkIII CDP?" 

They never say anything about what kind of sound they like, or what kind of sound they want, or how it could be better. Nothing about what they want at all. Instead the focus is all on the component. 

So I have to wonder, if they care so much about the component, why ask us? Why not just ask the speaker?
