People with kids.

I have $200 OfficeJet that has a free fax service that I need once in awhile and I use the instant ink thing.

Laser MFPs are expensive and the toner is super expensive. Brother lasers are great as long as you’re ok with 600dpi.

Aren't there 1200 dpi BW laser printers?

Yes, just not the <$90 models often recommended. Laser costs go up fast, and good color quality is a physically large unit usually.

If you care about print output and print often, inkjet will get you better value.
