Because no one has the slightest idea how to properly quantify defensive value of an individual player.

I think using UZR and DRS are better alternatives than pretending that everyone plays defense at the same level.

Yup. Defensive metrics are still largely terrible

Counter point
I absolutely love watching baseball, but how many games have I seen Paul DeJong play SS? Maybe two games.
How many games have these FG/BA guys watched? All of them. Therefore, I am more inclined to support what they say about defensive metrics....since its their jobs. Is it perfect? No, but its the best that we have, and its much better than baseball writers giving Rafael Palmiero a Gold Glove award at 1B for playing roughly 40 games there.
