There are many reasons someone should buy a PC, actually. A computer is supposed to be something that increases a person's productivity (well, for the most part... games really don't fall into that category :)). Whatever OS works best for that person is the OS that the person should use. I use a Mac because I believe its the superior OS to what is out there, but primarily it is because I am much more productive on the Macintosh platform than I could be on a Windows or Linux platform; if I was more productive on a Linux machine, I'd be running it.
Also, some people need to have a PC; if their job involves PCs and they need to share files between home and work, especially if their office runs proprietary software, it would be just plain stupid to have incompatible machines between home and office. If a person uses a PC at work and has a PC and Mac at home, great, but they still need to have a PC.
The real world is rarely black and white.

Not everyone can afford multiple computers. I'm not one of those people, with three machines in my bedroom right now (iMac, G4 tower, G4 PowerBook), but that doesn't mean that everyone can.
