Because it sucks.

Your compiler provider goes bust, compiler is no longer updated but you want to continue to maintain and build your product.

Also, learning it as a child or student almost invariably requires pirating the compiler. Been there, done that.

Building on open and free platforms is just so much better. No need to pirate, and always a way to maintain what you've built.
