Imagine if a Jewish person is asked: so why do you bother to keep your faith: "Why is it important to you to remain a Muslim, rather than rejecting your faith outright, as Ayaan Hirsi Ali has?" What kind of question is this? Just because there is one person who abandoned Islam all Muslims should follow her example? The discourse on Islam as a religion is like no other discourse on any other religion. Why not ask someone: why don't you love, Nial Ferguson, when Hirsi Ali loves Nial Ferguson. Or: why not call for crushing Islam when Hirsi Ali wants to crush Islam. Or why not love Israel when Hirsi Ali loves Israel, etc.
