I am a super casual player, outside observation.
Since I can't edit, a super important secondary reason that 100% is why DKP is in place, is to get people to show up for raids where there is nothing for them to win or they already got the piece they wanted. Your building up points towards a future raid, creating delayed gratification to incentivize the warm bodies and helping keep your numbers up.

I also understand a lot of people raid to be social and help their pals out, that isn't a guaranteed thing to occur with 40+ elf sim pixel hunters on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
