Establishes importance and relevance to create engagement.
Why [topic] matters is just explanation with better importance
It works because it hits three triggers: importance, explanation, and engagement. The why creates explanation. The matters creates importance. The topic creates engagement. People see "Why morning routines matter" and think: "I want to understand why. I want that importance." They click because why [topic] matters feels valuable—even when the importance is just marketing. It's not about being clever—it's about making explanations feel important.
