I think its more that people wanted a casual, playful font. And comic sans was the only option. Given a simlar, but better designed font, I think most people would choose it. Comic sans is strangely hard to read when you compare it to an actual comic book, for example. But I agree, the hatred amongst designers is a bit strange, and there are obviously loads of people who want that style of font.
