It's a bad move, white plays it because he's a beginner that doesn't know any sicilian theory.

I've played it, but I don't know what I'm doing so ericmittens is 1/2 correct.
Why do people play this opening? It seems pretty obvious to me that Black can easily reply e6 and then d5 to get rid of the bishop and buy time; however, I've faced this second move by white in about half of my Sicilian games. Thoughts?
