Having played several systems I have no idea why anyone chooses d&d other than it seems like the default.
I'm in a d&d group and every time they're flipping through the books I want to shake them and show them literally anything else. Even just vibe up your own system on the spot.
I like Risus, its GM guide is 4 pages long and it's played with plain ol' d6's
Im pretty sure that's the reason why. My group started on d&d because it's the default and so has a lot of resources available starting out for players and gms alike. We don't do d&d anymore and migrated to other systems after ending the campaign.
That's cool, but also I feel I was a little judgy in my comment. If anyone just straight up enjoys d&d for what it is there's nothing wrong with that.
