Another way of looking at it
Maybe the basic simple principles of how humans should relate to each other are not appealing to everyone, so some of these people prefer a "philosophy" that lets them make reality and societies up as they go. Preferably along lines where they can satisfy their random whims.
Logic is a tool, like a hammer, and you can use it to build houses or break valuable china. Without axioms, or observed reality, logic has nowhere to go.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident..." People used to THINK back in those days.
