This would make more sense if it was entirely client-side code towards an official JSONP endpoint, such as the official hacker news API.

Not saying this is necessarily true for Hacker News, but unfortunately a lot of sites don't have the time/resources to develop and then maintain a public API for the majority of their content. And mostly see an RSS or XML feed of their news/articles/stories as good enough.
