The default rules when you use: sudo ufw enable are more then adequate for the average user that is running any services. To answer your questions as to why they have to use a firewall, they don't, it's just something they did when they ran Windows, and they can't believe they can be safe on the internet without one. Personally I don't run one at home, and only enable the firewall when I'm out with my netbook.
