It's perfectly fine to run an experiment until you get a significant result. You just have to do the maths differently - that's what most people don't know.

People use classical methods because it is easier for them to understand than Bayesian. When using classical methods, the least one can do is to fix sample size before the experiment, and not peek until the experiment is over.
That is easier than explaining Bayesian methods to people who cannot handle classical Stats.
