    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)

    Yeah maybe. Honestly I've always loved the idea of patron saints and often use them in my stories involving demon hunters because it's just something I absolutely love. And you think I can remember all of them? Honey, that's what Google is for. Of the four I listed earlier, the only ones I knew off the top of my head were Luke and Rita, and that's only because Luke was a doctor so it's easy to remember and Rita is the patron Saint for a friend of mine so I just remember it. The only other ones I know off the top of my head are St. Francis of Assisi (he's animals among other things, since he's my patron I kind of have to know), St. Elijah (he's sleep and I know because I just used him in a story), and St. Catherine of Siena (she's artists and I know because I have been chosen to be a sponsor for someone this year and this is her Saint).
