Comment (by lukecavanagh):

 Drupal already has custom content creation in its core.

 https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/understanding-drupal/content-types

 This point explains it the best, for why end-users would care if it was
 explained and in core.

 '''There are two main reasons for creating your own content type. First,
 content types lets you organize your site more efficiently. For instance,
 you might have "Info" and "News flash" as two simple content types on your
 site, rather than just using "Article" for both. Additionally, creating
 your own content type means that you can create custom fields. These
 fields can appear as text boxes, select lists, check boxes, etc.,
 providing extensive functionality to content on your site.'''
