why adjustable voltage ?

Given that one has the same atomizer or cartomizer (ie. same resistance) then altering the voltage can change the wattage - the resultant power that the ecig generates. More wattage will increase vapor and throat hit and will enhance some flavors. Although some flavors are washed out with higher wattage and so you turn down the voltage to find the 'sweet spot' for the flavor you're vaping.
It's great at sampling flavors. If you're only vaping at one fixed wattage, then you might miss that sweet spot for that flavor. My coffee/espresso doesn't taste like much at 3.3Volts on the eGo but with the eGo upgrade PT which runs at 4.0-4.2v hooked up, the coffee/espresso comes alive. With the new vv eGo Twist the espresso tastes good at 4.8V and with gobs more vapor. On the other end, my fruit flavor - black currant - is almost tasteless at 3.6 Volts, tastes burnt at 3.7V or above, but taste great at 3.3 Volts.
I just got the vv Twist today, so I'm still testing it but so far it's all that it purports to be. So far the best setup is with the EMDCC's with the dual coils - it doesn't run hot and loads of vapor with the right flavor..... I intend to break out the older eGo mega attys and carts for this one. The extra heat at very high voltage tends to burn in the eGo tanks.... Fine below @3.8v though - depending on the flavor. Most of my flavors are still best with the eGo-c or upgrade batt.

As Kent C said, it's all about power. Power is a measure of work and for a vaper that means boiling juice to produce vapor. (A physics lesson that doesn't involve a ramp and a silly looking red toy car.)
Different flavors will taste better at different power levels. Higher power gives more vapor production, an increase in throat hit, and felt warmth. Need a hotter more powerful throat hit because the joker at the end of the on ramp stops to look for a 2 mile wide break in traffic before he will allow you to enter the interstate behind him? Dial up the voltage a bit, vape, feel better and pass said joker later when he is putting along at 45 in a 70 speed zone. Rough night and need a lighter throat hit in the morning, dial the voltage down and get your nicotine fix without making your poor throat more scratchy.
No need to change your atomizer/cartomizer/tank to get your vape fit to your needs at the moment.
I usually adjust voltage to make the flavor taste the best it can be though.
As for why, because I can and because I need a great flavor.
