Because it's an accurate representation of what your eyes see. There are some people who don't like 50mm lenses simply because they have to foot zoom but the quality is totally worth the effort

What does 28 to 80mm on a camera lens mean?

It relates to the focal length of a zoom lens - in this case 28 mm being wide angle (but noit as wide as a fish eye lens) through to medium telephoto - 80mm or thereabouts is used by 35mm SLR photographers to capture portraits. A standard lens on 35mm SLR is around the 50mm mark. Note that I have used 35mm SLR as the reference - it varies deopending on the format - I believe digital SLRs are different also.
