Not saying it makes sense, but the fact that Jeff Bezos owns a big mansion in DC and is taking time out of his doubtless extremely busy schedule to make himself a regular at social events there shows that it's important to him. As far as why it's so important to him - that's open to speculation. But the man is the richest person the world has ever known, so it probably makes sense that the next thing on his bucket list is to become one of the most influential people in the world. Of course he has lobbyists too, but a hands-on approach of meeting with powerful people face-to-face is probably the most effective way to achieve that end.
