I agree with doc-doc. These people are trying to help you here, and you are telling them that you are sick of THEIR mentality (the mentality which evidently has worked for them)!
You asked why? Because, according to probability rules, the more programs you apply to, the more is the probability to get interviews. ie, if 10% of the programs are going to invite you, 10% of 150 is more than 10% of 30. Of course, because there are too many programs anyway, you have to do your research to choose those 150 programs wisely.
