... Wow, curiosity is really not your forte, is it?
"Because it's there and we haven't been/know close to nothing about it" is a _perfectly_ good answer. This is science we're talking about, and raw research and exploration don't need another reason.
I'm plenty curious, but won't be signing up for that first manned mission to the surface of the Sun -- we haven't been there either, the movie Sunshine not withstanding (and it didn't go too well for them anyway)
Here's a hint: no one's been there yet.
Since you're on
While "Because it's there and we haven't been" is a valid answer, it isn't really a good answer.
yes. hundreds of thousands of minor planets. 5 dwarf planets AND EIGHT FULL FLEDGED PLANETS.
And, of course, once we start naming Dwarf planets, will want Elf planets, Hobbit planets, Orc planets, etc...
... [pluto] was a bit of an oddball compared to the other eight, with a highly eccentric and tilted orbit, a diminutive size.
Though there's no absolute rules against a planet having those characteristics. Perhaps a planet caught by, not formed within, the system might match some/all of those, etc...
I can see the desire for have more specific names for different types of things, but I can also see the appeal in keeping things simple.
Let me just say that, if you offer a trip to space as the companion event to drinking this water, I will drink and I will go.

Evolution doesn't deal with life or death
You lack a realistic understanding of evolution, I'm afraid. Time for some remedial study.
++no
Sometimes a driver simply isn't available for Linux, QNX, VxWorks or other embedded OSes.
That is actually the best argument to avoid such hardware. Rely on hardware that is open standards based, then you can reduce dependency on proprietary drivers
The reason they have to stay with XPe is because there probably aren't any drivers for Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1 So much for the benefit of reusing XP drivers
On the other hand, I'm sure whatever is needed could be ported to NetBSD - which can probably also run on these things, as it runs on just about everything else, including toasters. Just sayin' that there's more to wide-spread hardware portability than just XPe.
This time only the bad guy died, but even him did not deserve capital punishment for a car jack

Nature -- specifically evolution -- disagrees. You don't get a vote.
So Tesla's anti-theft system is 100% lethal?
No, but evolution's anti-massive-stupidity system is pretty lethal. Less so nowadays, but... still.
