Why?
Most people play the race they consider fun rather than the best or easisest to play race
Afterall we're not proffessionals, we play for entertainment

As a competitor, no matter what level of play I'm at, If I feel one option is an option for easier / faster wins or whatever I will choose that.
If playing terran is so frustrating and you are only playing for fun, why not switch to the race you consider to be made for retards to see if it actually is as easy as you think it is?
:OO
You both have a point, but are speaking from two different angles.
I play Terran simply because it is the only race I know how to play and it is also the only race I feel is fun.
I've tried the other races but I can't seem to find them as fun on either my level of play or the lower leagues where I might have a chance playing lets say Protoss.
Some people, like Ferrite stated will play for fun, and if fun is winning then obviously choosing to do what makes you win is a smart way to do it regardless if it is 8pooling with zerg every game or canon rushing.
But I agreed with Martin, that we play for fun and we're not professionals in any way, at least not the most of us. So we play to have fun, and if having fun is getting better at the race you choose to go with even if you're loosing many games, so be it.
I rather get good at one race, facing a lot of defeat than staying in Silver with all three races for the rest of this year trying to grind up myself to plat/diamond as a random player.
But we're all different with different opinions.
