You'd be amazed at the kind of inane details people like to keep track of; I, for instance, like to keep track of how difficult enemies are to defeat - if a foe takes more then one hit to defeat for a while, and is suddenly one-shotted without rhyme or reason, I take notice.

But this is a work of fiction - part of the fun comes from seeing all the points of connection between characters(even if the connections aren't direct: many characters in RWBY are foils to each other, for example). And we need something to pass the time between volumes.
