Why use an f2.8 lens for landscape photography?


Isn't it ironic how the most popular lens for landscape photography is a 16mm - 35mm f2.8? I get the 16mm - 35mm focal range, I mean you need a wide angle lens to get as much of the landscape in frame as possible but I don't get the whole f2.8 thing. 

Landscape photography requires maximising the depth of field, which means stopping down the lens and closing the aperture. Wide apertures of f2.8 are never used when photographing landscapes - so why do landscape photographers lust over the f2.8? Seriously...........
