This is most likely mainly due to cost, density, and performance (despite
their flaws). The other nice thing about them is that they are everywhere,
so they have a good community of users.

performance, cost, density? I don't have any hard numbers to back this up
(aside from earnings numbers from Cisco) but I'm guessing the number of
Nexus 7000s replacing 6500s has been pretty disappointing to Cisco.
