Why do people who don't like graded cards worry about the fact that cards are graded?

I buy both raw and graded. Because I don't get to many (any) shows, I buy most of my cards from the internet, particularly ebay. The raw cards I have purchased are purchased here through B/S/T. Because I use ebay, it seems to me that the only way for me to be comfortable with the purchase is by relying on the seller, a scan and the grade.

Now, I understand all of the reasons why someone wouldn't want to purchase a graded card for their collection. What I don't understand is why would you care what I buy?
