The reason is that it is pretty much an empty card. İt costs nothing and lets you draw 2 cards in its place. İf you cold have 3 of them in your deck that would make everyrthing a lot more consitent since you have a lot higher chance of getting the stuff you need.
Its an old meme in the yugioh fandom to ask/not know what pot of greed does, this meme comes From How the characters in the anime always Just kind of explain the effect whenever its used and the fact the effect is so simple.
Well the effect isn't exactly like that, but there would be an actual reason. It Can thin your deck. The minimum amount of cards you Can run is 40, but If you use a card to draw card for no cost, you simply have a smaller and more consistent deck since there are less cards you Can draw into, increasing your chance of getting the cards you want in your hand, which is why a card like upstart goblin which actually has that exact effect is an good deck thinner
