 Why is it that Bobby Fischer switched to Fisherrandom chess (also known as 960) after playing regular chess so long?

One arguement for Fischer Random Chess is to start the game immediately and to eliminate the opening phase of the game and the massive amount of opening theory which has come out in recent years.

Well yes, certainly, good answer.

Less memorization, more skill.

True,too true. But all those years of practice for regular chess and now he switches to some weird invention of his? It doesn't make sense. He was a little off if you know what I mean.
