Quivers weigh one pound and hold twenty arrows. Twenty arrows weigh one pound.
What's the point of having a case that weighs the same as what it holds? It wont let you hold more?

Welcome to the site! Take the tour. I'm a little concerned that the question doesn't address an alternative that you're imagining. That is, do you imagine it'd be narratively easier, more convenient, or just totally allowed mechanically to, instead, carry arrows in a sack, bandoleer or pocket? Thank you for participating and have fun.

Welcome to the site! Take our tour if you haven't already. Great first question. I made a small edit for readability and the new players tag is for questions about new players, not questions by new players. It's good to meet you and I hope to see you around!

They answer the question of “where did you put your arrows such that they’re easily accessible?†If you tell me, as DM, that you have 20 arrows but no quiver, then I’m wondering where the arrows are and how you’re grabbing them to shoot your bow. Some alternative answers might be fine, but if they’re just stowed in your pack somewhere, then I will probably say you can’t easily shoot your bow as quickly as you otherwise could because you have to go and get out an arrow every time. And the rules back me up there:
Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon).
With a quiver, we know you don’t need any extra special effort to get your ammunition. Without a quiver, well, that’s unclear and it’s going to be up to the DM to decide.
Also, the quiver of 20 arrows that weighs 1 lb. includes the weight of the arrows. Which basically means the quiver weighs “0 lb,†that is, its weight on its own is negligible. Having stats for a quiver is useful because otherwise you might think that the quiver itself should weigh something on top of the arrows it holds.
