There may be more than one viewpoint to a question, I've answered several questions on this site, that after reading the answers from others, we each are right. Some one can add to the information collected, a lot of answers are sometimes needed to get the complete picture.

sometimes the site does it by it's self like if you don't pick a best answer after i think it's 2 days answers will put the question up for vote even if there isn't a answer unless you extend the date on the question!

Because questions are not being put to vote -- answers are. And some answers are much better than others. 16 might be the correct answer to a very complicated math problem, but an answer that shows how he/she got he answer in detail has given a much better answer than sombody who simply says 16.
Similarly, someone who asks why he/she does not have any friends, has no use for answers that are flippant or foolish, or cruel. He/she is looking for an answer that can help him/her in his social life.
There are countless examples that show some answers are definitely better than others. Certainly you can see that.

Because they are not interested in the answer?

Don't you just hate it when someone answers your question with another question?
