What's with all the doonas (duvets)?!

Does anyone know why hotels in Bali have heavy doonas or blankets on the beds? (Thank you bagusbabe for reminding me about this in one of your delightful JBRs).

I realise there must be tourists who insist on turning the AC down (up?) until they've recreated a Melbourne winter's night in their rooms, but surely most people are happier with just a sheet in the tropics?

I often have to ask for a top sheet and the request usually causes confusion.

I would have thought it was in the hotel's interests (not to mention the environment's) for hotels to make it comfortable for tourists to sleep with little or no AC?

Thoughts?
