Why would anyone become Catholic?

I often ask myself that very question. Quite befuddling actually.

Because they wish to be members of the church Christ Himself founded, because they wish to partake of His Flesh and Blood, per His words in the gospel...Because they understand the rather obvious difference between Sola Fide and Sola Gratia.

Little reason like that, I guess.

Try reading the Catechism. Start with whatever teaching strikes you as the strangest. You might be surprised at what you find.
