Steppers are super optimized for being super precise and easy to controle while being (relatively) cheap to build.

They have weird "trick" geometry that means you can move the rotor to many different angles (tens, hundreds) with far fewer stator windings.

The cost of this is really low power and efficincy if you just want to spin them.
