My son was accepted to both (Brown and Chicago). And after visiting, decided on Brown. While both schools are different, they both are for curious kids in a different way. I saw this remark several times, but after looking at both schools it actually does not surprise me some kids apply to both.

why wouldn't people apply to both? They're both top-ranked, prestigious, elite institutions!!

For example, they might be more concerned about attending a school that is a good academic fit rather than attending any "top-ranked, prestigious, elite institution".

If "prestige" is all that matters, why bother with Brown or Chicago? Go for HYPS.
