Other members might also be very useful, but "these members" are actually known for it.
It also shows that this member is appreciative of other members, because it includes the number of thanks they have given, in addition to the number of thanks they have received.
I'm so accustomed to this inclusion, that I was actually surprised when I first came here and saw that it wasn't included. It feels weird to not be able to "rep" someone for an especially helpful post.

Yes, but it was nice that we didn’t. I’ve not seen one forum where the like feature (however named/used) wasn’t absolutely useless. People either “liked” everything or it was a popularity contest, neither of which is particularly helpful but can easily become very hurtful.
