I can answer that.
Because make is more familiar to us. We have used it for years. No need
to learn something new, and we can instantly get on with the job at
hand, instead of reading web docs, and fighting with bitbake, etc. You
see a makefile, you instantly know what to do, without having to spend
30 minutes searching wiki's.
