A lot of drivers think that it's intuitive at first, so they ask for it without knowing any better. However, once they get used to 'split arcade' or 'fps' or some other more sophisticated control scheme (where the computer is doing the drive control math instead of the driver, where drive transforms can be used) they wind up preferring it to two-stick. I believe this is why teams rarely, if ever, change back.
