Because it's really, really slow compared to in-language variables? I've not yet ran out of memory because of program variables, and speed shouldn't be an argument for low memory footprint when it's already at best 1/10 of it's performance.

Redis locally is good to do IPC though. You have many scenarios where multi local processes have to exchange data. You have alternatives but Redis works and can scale up.
