IME, it's either because it's what the DBAs are most familiar with, or 
(most often) the management decide to use it because that is what their 
competitors use. If you go against the flow and it works, you're hailed 
as a genius; if your business suffers because you deviated from industry 
standards, you are looking for a new six-figure job.
