Several people have already pointed out it's not always about the apparel. Sometimes it's because Showdown puts you there, or it's about the daily/weekly goals WGT gives you. i.e. "Win 10 Games in Chelsea".
If someone who is getting their feelings hurt by losing a low level coin room would like to start gifting me the 170 credits per week I'd lose from not doing goals + the credits/coins and free balls I'd lose by not playing Showdown, I'd consider quitting the coin rooms all together.
