It could be because saints are given specific designations. Like, say, let's pretend that your TV is broken and needs to be repaired, but it might be costly and make a huge dent on your wallet, so you pray to the patron saints of TV and Money to give you guidance. In a way it can feel more effective than praying directly to God. I personally don't lean towards either or, though I do pray directly to God more often (mostly because it's hard to remember all those saints and which one is the patron of which thing XD)
