Why? I'm neither tourist nor airport employee, but visit DC on a regular basis for work (bicycle lobby). Why wouldn't a business person take the metro when it connects IAD to downtown DC? Improved predictability, similar or shorter travel time to taxi (and likely much faster when traffic is heavy), no need to rent a car. What am I missing?
