Because some of us would still like to be programming in 20 years' time rather than being crippled by carpal tunnel ;)
I included a smiley, but I'm only half jesting. I tried to use native emacs for a while, but even after remapping caps-lock to ctrl, I was getting weird twinges in my wrist from all the odd angles I was having to go to in order to hit ctrl and meta. I switched back to vim, and the twinges stopped.
I didn't know about evil mode or spacemacs then, otherwise I might have tried to stick with emacs.

Why don't people ever give native emacs a try?
