Because once repaired a car will have diminished value, no matter how well its repaired. You can pursue a diminished value claim, but they are very hard to get and even when you do the amount of the DV claim is usually nowhere near the actual value difference.
On a car like my S Class an accident history can be a 20-25% hit to its resale value...even just a repainted bumper... in a lease thats not a concern.

I did learn a little bit about leasing from reading this though.

Not about justifying it, its an interesting discussion that like you admitted at the end people can learn from. I don't care what strangers think, that doesn't mean I don't have an interest in trying to help people see past their own preconceptions.
If I didn't enjoy the discussion I wouldn't participate in it.
