Why are Revit families so important?

Revit families are the cornerstone of BIM. When you insert a family into a model, you get a fully parametric data-rich 3D object that can adapt to whatever is actually hosting that family. For example, if I insert a window family into a wall, I don't have to tell the family what size the wall is. It just knows.
