MODERATORS
I would argue it's because it is Good Enough. The most popular solutions to things are rarely the optimum ones but the ones that are generally applicable.
For example, I could fight with bash's unpleasant syntax or I could do it more easily (but less efficiently) with Python. Would it be as performant? Absolutely not - but the performance gains wouldn't be worth the time and maintainability.
