Because you have to admit they're pretty, even when they're in your yard.

Mellow about yellow: We love those spectacular sweeps of yellow in the parks by the lake this May. Not only the daffodils, but the dandelions. After all, the only reason we call one of these Eurasian species a weed and the other a garden plant is because the dandelions annoy us by growing where we want only grass. The Chicago Park District has decided the annoyance is not worth spreading toxic chemicals and downright brags about its dandelions in a news release: "The sight of dandelions indicates grass that is healthy and safe for all park patrons to play on." Take that attitude about your own dandelions and you'll save yourself a ton of work. If you just can't stand it, hand-pull them from a small lawn.
