Few reasons:
* Keybindings are different, and switching back and forth adds friction.
* You get looks if you use Emacs. From those over 45 it's like "I remember that from my DEC days; why use it now in the age of Eclipse/JetBrains/Atom/VSCode?" From those under 45 it's more like "You're using that ancient thing from the 70s?!" There are probably Facebook memes out there with an Emacs screenshot and the caption "If you use this to code you're a psychopath." Social pressure these days is against Emacs, so if you're going to use something else, may as well go with the flow and use something else, not something else and Emacs and be thought a weirdo.
