Web Why do so few servers use MyBB as a forum?

Generally as a forum, most server's I've seen use XenForo, while there's nothing wrong with this, I'm just wondering, why not MyBB?

If I was to create a server right now, I would most likely use either xenForo or IPB, mainly because I own a license for both. Using a free forum software that you don't have dedicated support team for just doesn't seem like a good idea if you have these other options. If I did not own a license for a paid forum software, I would most likely use MyBB.

Paid softwares also have constant updates to them, while free softwares are updated much slower, in most cases at least. I love seeing the software evolve and gain new features, which you really don't see that much in free ones.

People want stupid poop into the forums like special badges and stuff that works without addons/mods and some people think it's more nice to have "good looking" forum, because people thinks "Oh, they have a license. This project is serious."

Like 97% of the RaGEZONE user servers are down due lacking skill on development or just getting bored or simply they're getting some messages from lawyer. I don't even believe in this site anymore. Just looking around what people are doing nowadays.
