Idiots like OP do that.
Here in Scotland they are used to marks trails, so you know the direction to go if it's not obvious, or to mark the summit of munros/corbetts
If i see needless cairns i take great pleasure in kicking them over.

In austria they used painted flags to mark trails, so those caims were rather useless

Quoted By:

I sometimes use them to mark points where I made a safe river crossing. Water levels change a lot in alpine rivers across days, or inside a day, and so it's a pretty good navigation aid. They really can help save your life when there's literally not another human being around for dozens of kilometers. I make sure to take them down on my way out though.

I leave 3-4 really cute ones along every trail I hike. I like to leave my mark and most everyone I talk to along the trail just loves to see all the different and unique cairns all over the place.

In Thailand they represent the spirits of the forest/jungle and bring luck to whoever put a rock on it and misfortune to who bring it down
You can find a lot of them in view point and top of hills
