And what is it about states that makes that the appropriate line at which to apply the law? Different counties within the state surely have differing values. What about at the township level? District? Neighborhood? House? Individu...ah. Yes. Right. That's just choice.

Or perhaps some people believe seriously that our federal government is limited in its powers by the constitution and think that the 10th Amendment actually means something. And that the states are supposed to have different laws and that in doing so, states can find the best ways to meet their individual needs or have the freedom to discover a better way to do something. And that state-level politicians are more receptive to their constituents.
