It's all about finding the perfect balance between being strong and looking good.
Who wants to look really good but benching 20KGs max and having to change the subject when someone asks him about his lifting stats, and of course everyone is going to think bodybuilders lift like they look.
Then again, who would want to lift 300KGs but be big and fat, with little to no visible muscle. Your lifting stats won't do you much because everyone is gonna perceive you as a fat fuck.
Not to add that most of the so called powerlifters these days break the myth of wide-shouldered, big strongmen completely. Now it's mostly about scrawny fucks that couldn't endure the bodybuilding diet or something similar, so they started calling themselves powerlifters and saying how bodybuilders suck.
So, looking great and benching 200KGs > Looking better than that and benching 100KGs + Looking like a fat shit and benching 300KGs.
