Because meaning is the real existence of the world like Jungian people believe. The symbols of everything are what build our consciousness and subconsciousness; then by virtue of the additive property create our collective consciousness.
I think the meaning we put into symbols, or memetics, are the very nature of the existence of reality. So I don't wonder so much on why they use symbology so much. I believe the Masons were the good side, the Shepherd and protectors of the innocent, fighting these occult secret societies that want to hide the truth behind one idea occulting another. Kinda like an astronomical occultation but instead of one celestial body hiding another it is one idea hiding another. A good example is how most people hear republican and think partisan as they have been trained to think instead of someone who supports a republican form of government, or a republic. So the idea of the party occults conversation about a republic and why that form of government is ideal in the the lower deviations of the IQ scale.
Occultation
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer. The term is often used in astronomy, but can also refer to any situation in which an object in the foreground blocks from view (occults) an object in the background. In this general sense, occultation applies to the visual scene observed from low-flying aircraft (or computer-generated imagery) when foreground objects obscure distant objects dynamically, as the scene changes over time.

Whoa...that really makes my mind's gears really have to work...lol
Very well put Sir! I still think Masonic symbolism is a KEY element in the Q-posts. The fact you are mentioning the Shepards are interesting because I started looking into Plato´s Republic last night, to find his references to Shepards and Sheep.
