Those cats need to get out of the house more.
Actually the reason it happens is that the terminology is useful to the people who use it, same as any other descriptive term that enters the lexicon.

I think most people who post here listen to and are knowledgeable about many other types of music besides metal.

Well you're both free to disagree but its not like I pulled this out of my ass. If I'm wrong, then why doesn't any other genre have such an obscene amount of sub-genres?

Electronica, dude. I'm pretty sure a new electronic subgenre is invented every day.

Ha! I was going to say...IDM, my favorite sub-genre name.

I can't say I've ever heard of Clutch being referred to as "beardcore".

I don't know, you said it was "utterly ludicrous" a couple minutes ago.

I think you're missing...

List of rock genres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rock has probably more sub genres than anything.

As Blaro and Ki have pointed out, metal isn't the only type of music with a lot of subgenres. But even if it was, so what? Metal fans didn't invent subgenre names just to irritate you, they invented them because they serve a purpose in a conversation between people who know what they mean. If they were useless, they wouldn't be used.

To add on to your post, discussions about metal would be far more confusing if sub genres didn't exist. Especially when getting into a discussion about death metal or black metal.
