Because I'm not an idiot who only plays one kind of guitar like you Ibanez fanboys.

It's not idiotic per se.. Just limiting.

That's insane.
Let's say Fenders are my preferred guitars. So I'll play them, right? And because I like them so much, I have no need for any other guitars. Why is it limiting when I have no desire or requirement for any further brand of guitar?

To me at least, it is quite limiting. You have to step outside your comfort zone every now and then, and besides: I personally love the fact that my two main guitars are so wildly different, and the others I have are also different. It gives me more options, sonically.

Well obviously, I can see why it would be limiting for some. But I'm quite happy doing whatever the hell I can with my Tele. I love trying to get weird and wonderful sounds out of it by any means.
As far as getting out of my comfort zone...I don't do that with guitar. I am quite happy with where I am as a guitarist. I get out of my comfort zone by trying new things on bass, organ, piano, or just trying a whole new instrument in a music shop.

Fair enough, if that works for you then more power to you.
I for one, play Death Metal in one band and Rock'n'Roll in another, and obviously I'm gonna need some variety in my arsenal. Especially when you consider the fact that I also dabble around in all conceivable styles when I'm just messing about at home.
Not surprisingly, my seven-string does the Death Metal thing for me, and does it quite well along with all other styles in terms of sound. Also it's phenomenal playability makes it well suited for the fairly technical riffs I write for that band.
But, with my other band it's just plain ol' punky rock'n'roll in standard E, and in that style, my seven doesn't fit and that where my washburn comes in. It's a Gibson Explorer style axe which plays nicely and has a great classic rock sound to it. It also really looks the part.
By looking the part, I mean I can hang it low and still play it well. I have the seven hanging a few inches above the waist, in true prog dork fashion, and that doesn't look terribly cool if you just wanna RAWK!!1
I'm not sure if this post is very coherent, but I hope you can see my point :)
