Because nvidia-settings lets you customize much more than just resolution -- e.g. if you have multiple monitors, nvidia-settings lets you pick which monitor is on which side (so that dragging your cursor off the right side of one will put it on the left side of the other, etc).

Though I agree with your sentiment, let's try to keep comments like this (and "me too" comments) to a minimum -- this bug is getting to be unreadably long, which makes it all the harder for Ubuntu developers to see what's broken and what's been discovered.

The cause of this bug has been essentially known since comment #64. There should be no reason to post here unless you have new information, or unless you're actively working on fixing the bug.
