Because it simply works!
Monitor’s native
Each monitor has it’s own, typical white point, that is displayed when all 3 channels, R, G and B (Gains) are set to max.
With this setting he luminance and gamut of the monitor
are at their maximum.
„Monitor’s native“ is not recommended for color critical
work in an ICC workflow. This setting may be useful for laptop monitors if their luminance is inadequate after calibrating them to D50.
Blackbody temperature
As described earlier, an illuminant can be characterized with
its correlated color temperature. D50 for example has an
approximate color temperature of 5000K, but the blackbody
radiator has a different spectral distribution at 5000K.
Monitors show a different, characteristic spectral distribution, their white point can only be approximated.
