Maybe for the same reason stormtroopers do? Or simply protection ? Not being recognized ? For dedication to his grandfather who inspired him ?
Otherwise, yes, there are lot of similitudes between ep IV and VII and from my point of view, that's not an issue. Ep VII introduces all news characters, which are kind of alter-ego of the crew from StarWars IV, V & VI. Some characters are 100% orginal tho, like the stormtrooper's chief for isntance, but not enough exploited in this movie (they should rise in the next episodes).
Of course, the force awakens is not perfect. Of course, you can't be surprised by this movie like you probably were in back in 1977 because, hey, it's already been created once!
And yes, scenario might be not so original but it's good and for me, JJ abrams succceed where G. Lucas failed with ep I,II & III bby making his movie faithful to the universe of the the first SW.
