Who knows! Why did they rob banks when they had 'legitimate sources' of income? Why are there doppelgangers running around? How is Buffy in any more danger than she was for 7 years in SD when all of hell knew her street address?
They thought of something cool and then just twisted the world to fit it.
Writers: We have to get Buffy out of Rome! I know, it wasn't really Buffy! A fake! Why would Buffy have a fake? People are out to get her.
Intern (only person who watched the show): That doesn't make any...
Writers: Yeah, she'll live in a castle!
That's honestly my opinion of how this was plotted. Gimmick or metaphor first, logic and characterization second. Or third. Sometimes never.
