Also largely due to the fuel dilution of the 0w20 oil, full synthetic or not. I will not go beyond 5000, for the time and cost to do it why would iIt's desirable for most people to spend as little money and time as possible on oil changes. If working on your car is your hobby and you enjoy changing your oil, power to you, but that's not the situation for most people.
It's intelligent so long as it doesn't damage the car in any way. Most people trust that if they follow the manufacturer's recommendations they'll be fine, which basically means following the maintenance minder, which seems to pop for people around 7-8k miles, which is not out of line with what you'd expect for a synthetic oil. A lot of people in this thread speculate changing sooner may be beneficial, especially if they feel their driving style may cause more wear.
