To be fair, a lot of times if a lot of people are using some software you haven't heard of, it's worth checking out. For instance, I only know about guvcview because it had a lot of votes on the AUR, and I was looking for something that would capture video correctly from my Thinkpad T410's integrated camera. I guess it _could_ promote a culture of not thinking about why you're installing a package, but frankly the type of people who do that generally don't get to the point where they're installing PKGBUILDS, in my experience.
