I think it has most to do with way user thinks.
I need to see big picture, whole state, all the stuff and rapidly jump back and forth. I also, supposidely, have ability to keep a lot of state / scope/ abstraction in my head. So I find print debugging sufficient and fast. Rarely encounter situation I feel need for "stronger" tool.
Where other people focus on one thing, all that simultaneous output is just noise and distraction to them. And based on the continued use and popularity of step-based debuggers, these people are much more productive (and happier) using those type of tools.
It's very important to understand neither system is inherently superior. Although one or the other is superior to each individual. [btw over 35yrs of tech industry / software development I've found this true, that tools/paradigms are not universally superior but are superior based on individual) for many subjects. All the ones that have internal debates in techdom]
