And they are a simple easy option for relatively new teams for omindirectional movement. Swerve requires a lot of resources, and frankly with a few sacrifices, mecanum is right up there with them...

For one, you never want them playing defense. That immediately removes them from being a 2nd pick. To make them viable as a 1st pick, they need to score a lot. Most teams do not run mecanum. That leaves a very select few left who are viable picks. Add in the fact that in elims there is more defense, a team that can get through defense is usually the preferable pick.
