For people who don't already have a degree and who are otherwise neurotypical, an Associate degree represents the halfway point between starting and actually receiving a Bachelor's degree. It's a huge milestone and some people just want to be able to commemorate it in some way. Plus, if life takes an abrupt left turn and you're not able to continue the Bachelor's degree for some reason, at least you've got the AAS. Considering the last year and a half, life going "wrong" isn't exactly uncommon.
