Why do people buy cruising catamarans ?

So why do people buy cruising catamarans if monohulls in
the same price range are just as spacious and can go just
as fast ?
1. Shallower draft
2. They can be parked on the beach
3. They don't sink as easily
4. They don't roll like monohulls
5. ???

We raced our Schock 35 for many years and often there
was a multihull fleet sailing the same course. F-28 Corsair
Trimarans and others of the same ilk. We were very rarely
beaten around the course by those multihulls.. I would
tend to agree that in general a large monohull will be as
fast if not faster than a cruising cat.
This guy survived a pretty severe storm in a catamaran:
