Since there are almost a thousand of them, many people working towards that feat have not accomplished it. Of the people in my office who play the game, a full third are aiming to get all 900 and have asked for the reward not to be spoiled by the two-thirds who have either finished it or have looked it up.

Yes.
Because it was funny.
On December 29th, 2017, game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi gave an interview to IGN and stated that they liked the joke.
Why is poop a reward in Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi revealed why poop is the prize after collecting all the game's Korok seeds. He told IGN after the game awards, "We just kind of thought it would be funny to make that a big joke." Fujibayashi then confirmed a fan theory about what the Korok actually are. "It's just the backstory, the kind of hidden kind of thing in the game the whole way is that the Korok seeds are actually Korok poop." There are about 900 pieces of Korok poop throughout the game.

Well, the Korok seeds are actually based off of a real type of seed. There is a tree in a park that I live by and they give off a horrible smell. I finally learned that the name of these trees was known as Gingko. 
So there is another theory which has now been proven, the Korok seeds are Ginkgo seeds.
