Because modern operating systems like macOS don't have it and it looks old. When it comes to GUIs -- modern good, old bad. This is actually borne out by psychological research in which users found more modern-looking UIs to be subjectively easier and more pleasant to use. It can be jarring to the end user if some component fails and that visually noisy 1bpp stipple shows up. A more modern, seamless experience is worth more than the frisson of nostalgia you get seeing your X server look exactly as it did in the 80s upon initialization.

[[Citation needed]] I find older-fashioned ones easier to use. I actively favour Xfce over GNOME, KDE, Budgie, etc. I am wondering what this research was, who paid for it, the age group of the people they tested, and so on.
