Once the point is set, the "Don't Pass" bet has a sizeable edge in favor of the player though, and that's the point that you lay odds. The question is: Why lay the odds, which have no player edge, when you already have a bet on the table with a player edge?
I've often pondered it, and ultimately concluded that players do it for the action. I always bet with the shooter, so it's all somewhat alien to me from a mindset standpoint.

You seem to miss the point. Is that a good reason to double your bet
and give up the advantage you already have?
