One good reason is that HAProxy doesn't payment gate a bunch of the baseline features. I'm still surprised that NGINX doesn't come with active healthchecks in the free version - baseline feature for a load balancer in the world of treating computers as cattle.
HAProxy is such a great example of software that does what you expect, generally.
