"Varför läsar du svenska?" Swedes know why they ask . . .

Google Voice Search läsar svenska (learns Swedish): While languages like Romanian follow predictable pronunciation rules, others, like Swedish, required that we recruit native speakers to provide us with the pronunciations for thousands of words. Our scientists then built a machine learning system based on that data to predict how all other Swedish words would be pronounced. (see link below)
Varför? (Why?) … as in Why the heck would you do this to yourself????
