... why? Who cares what the source of the music is? As long as the DJ picks good tracks and has a good mix, why on Earth would it matter what equipment they're using?

Culture. Hip-Hop, House/Techno, Reggae/Dancehall cultures place emphasis on the skill in manipulating the music via a turntable (and CDJs like the club standard Nexus.) Because of that, there is an association of quality with being able to perform well on turntables/CDJ and a mixer. Also, in genres like House/Techno/Reggae/Dancehall, there's a lot of quality music that only exists in a vinyl format for this reason.
