I think the number one answer is just that for so long people have heard not to use MS's browser and most people have no clue one way or the other so they just follow the herd. (Not insulting them, there is no possible way for anyone to be intimately informed about every single topic and so for things you don't care one way or the other, might as well follow word of mouth)
