why to use query_posts() in custom page?

See When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()?

For a custom post type or a simple page you don’t need query_posts(). Usually, you almost never need it, because it will replace the default query which leads to some counter-intuitive side effects.

When in doubt use get_posts().
