Maybe because it forces one to think more, rather than rely on automation?
Maybe because it gets used more, than an autoplastic everything?
Maybe because it's more fun, more challenging?
Maybe because there have been many other very talented and good Leica
photographers during the years, and one feels that using a Leica requires
one to try harder?

Four reasons why I think it could.
