Mostly because I can pick up 9 or ten black socks and not find one matching pair in the bunch.

 I used to work for Dr Solomon's Software.  We threw socks out at IT shows.  It was funny to watch Department Heads on £100k+ scrambling for free socks 

The cardboard attachment read "Dr Solomon's.  Blows your socks off" and the black socks had Dr Solomon's stitched in white at the top.
Being part of the sales team I had plenty of freebie socks.
And they could be worn left or right and therefore never got mixed up in the washing.
I think I lost or left my last pair approx 14 years after acquiring them.
I borrow my Mum's now.
