I think it was simply a kind of tradition. It wouldn't be Pebble without a Kickstarter for each new watch.
It was the cute the first two times. By round #3, I was tired of the "we'll ship soon, after a slew of delays!" dance, and ready for Pebble to put on their big boy pants and let me know when they ship to a retailer from whom I can buy one that day.
And apparently those big boy pants were still fitting a bit loose.
