Is it because they can't handle or don't like their own thoughts.

For some it might be,
but I think there'd be many reasons.
Some would be drowning out the sounds of traffic and city noises.
Some would just be addicted to music or stimulation.
Some would use it to study -
eg learning a language or listening to lecture notes while running.
