I appreciate the attempt to help, but I disagree.

The README "addresses" a question of "why?". But because that's not a real answer, it's not a valid response to "but really why?"

"Why not?" here is an idiom for "I know it serves little purpose but I did it for the fun of tinkering with stuff."

"Why not?" can mean a lot of different things. That's why it can be helpful to get an actual answer.

I thing the "Why not?" is another way of saying that you've put more effort into understanding the motivation behind this project than OP did.
