Because for the average user it is still significantly easier to download some app to use in combination with a password they have a mnemonic for rather than having to figure out their own system for storing and retrieving long tokens in a reliable way. Also, most users are not obsessively clearing out their cache, so device recognition based password flows work seamlessly a lot of the time.
