I'll go one further: "intelligence" as conceived by "IQ" is a mostly meaningless concept and the word, when used in everyday English, mostly just means "agrees with me"

I think the simplest explanation is that it appeals to their urge to ruthlessly quantify all human interactions, including statements about their worldview.
