 Because it is really easy to use and the alternatives are tougher to
 articulate and code, especially to people just hacking together a theme.

 Re-opening for consideration down the line. I've been thinking about a new
 `pre_main_query` hook that parallels pre_get_posts but only runs
 `$query->is_main_query() and ! $query->is_admin()`. That might take some
 of the magic out of using pre_get_posts.
