Your question is not of the form "why is X important?" It is of the form "could we have predicted that X is important for objective reasons internal to mathematics?" which is quite different and I still don't really understand what it means. If you had asked "why is planarity important?" then your question would have just been closed as a duplicate and there would have been no argument in the comments.
Dear Hans, I left fairly detailed feedback on that question of yours and personally, I am still not sure whether you actually know exactly what kind of answer you were hoping for when asking the question. I think that the asker not knowing exactly what he is looking for is not a good omen for the question.
I would recommend you to be less worried about asking questions that are well received, but simply ask questions that you really want to know the answer to. That includes knowing precisely what it is that you actually want to know and knowing what kind of answer you are looking for. By the way, I think that meta.MO is a perfectly good place to address the latter question.
