I can't wrap my head around why these things are so popular.

They're not organically popular. They were made that way through sheer marketing capital. Here's how it works:

Sponsor events and influencers
Make sure everyone with a following have them and shows them
Profit from trend followers

And that's it. Eventually the fad dies out. Stupid of them not to see it coming and diversify.
