HEY BIG, why in a MTT?

Dude, you only need to ask once. I'm not on the board 24 hours a day. Give me a chance to reply.
In an MTT, the payout structure is less flat. Typically the Top 10% get paid, as opposed to the Top 30%. Additionally, the final table is usually where the 'real' money is at. Therefore, you must build a stack in MTT's in order to cash big. In a STT, you can often cash, or finish 2nd, by winning only one big hand. Sometimes you don't even need to do that. That is why STT strategy is much tighter than cash game or MTT play.
In an MTT, you do not want to pass up edges. Maybe some small ones early, but certainly not late. And this is an edge. ATo is almost certainly the best hand when you're facing one limper and it's from the CO. Also, you have position if called.
And I still say that everyone folding this hand is too goddamn tight.
