The only reason to avoid carbs is because they’re pretty easy for your body to turn in to sugars. Though your body uses a lot of carbs directly, so if the rest of your diet is fine, don’t fret about how ‘low carb’ you go.
For me the reason is that I just feel better eating less carbs. I feel less energy swings, I don’t get sleepy after the meal. But eating actually low carb (say <50 g daily) is just very inconvenient to me as I really don’t like cooking and meticulous meal planning. Well, and carbs are often fucking delicious. So in the end I eat pretty normal but I do avoid carbs whenever it doesn’t require too much effort.
