ELI5: In a recording studio, why use studio quality headphones, when most people won't be using those to listen

Studio quality headphones give accurate representation of sound, but most people listening to the music won't be listening with that high quality, so they'll miss a lot, or it might sound quite different for them.

Because you want the source recording to sound as good as possible.  Many people use quality speakers or headphones. Any recording is only as good as the weakest component in the chain, so you start high and then if people want to have a degraded experience that's their choice, but you don't cater to the lowest common denominator because then there is no quality version of the thing you just spent a lot of time and money to create.
