Why do people buy dryers?

There are several different answers to this question, just as there are several different types of dryers. Dryers are used to remove moisture from compressed air so that tools, instruments, and machinery will work properly. If water is not removed from compressed air, you can have frozen outdoor air lines and corrosion in valves, instruments, and tools. It is less expensive to buy a dryer than to live with the problems caused by wet air.
