Who swim only freestyle at every workout?

By freestyle I mean front crawl. At the pool I see many people swim only freestyle. Some regulars swim it continuously for more than an hour, nothing else, day after day. Unless they are preparing for some coming race, I wonder why they don't get bored? It's also easy to get injury if you swim only one style for long term. Does anyone here belong to this category? If so, I'm interested to know what's your mindset. :D

    If I tell my OW swimming buddy that I swam 5000 yards in a workout, he'll ask if it was all freestyle -with the implication that if it wasn't, then somehow I didn't really swim 5000 yards. Since he's much faster than me in a our annual 4000 yard race, nothing I say changes his attitude.
