120 gallon sps dosing ml a day

Why does everyone keep there alk so high? Isnt natural seawater closer to 7 Kh?

I shoot for 9.5. Every test kit I've used has been different. I figure if I'm off by a couple points in either direction it's ok, and it's more in line with the salt I use so big water changes don't swing my alk.
 
One thing i know about alk is that higher levels are much safer than lower levels. My tank completely crashed when my alk was a 7 one time and when it climbs up to 15, they don't die or anything, they just look a little off.
