well that's great for you, you probably have no interest in learning from others.
However, seeing as the main purpose of websites like this is for members & visitors to learn about photography & improve their own knowledge & understanding, deconstructing the way an image was made can be quite important & useful for others to learn. EXIF data can provide some information which is useful to others

No, but I don't watch all movies just to understand the theme & plot, sometimes I want to know how the hell they did that stunt, or what process was involved in making that CGI water so realistic, or how the script was written.
have you never bothered watching the extra feature section at the end of one of those David Attenborough Blue Planet type programmes?
If people just wanted to watch the movie they wouldn't sell so many DVDs with all the bonus features, would they?
