There reasons are varied and it won't ever go away.
You have umpires who umpire across associations who cross the rule sets up (In USSSA a batter cannot touch first with a bat in his hand but in ASA you can run the bases with the bat in your hands.)
I know we've all heard "But the umpire on that field didn't call me out for stepping out of the batter's box!!!"
One of my favorites coaches "arguments" was: "But Blue, in football that is a legal catch!"
And lets not forget the alcohol factor!!!
But, if you're going to argue a call at least know the damn rule!
