That's just because it is what you are comfortable with.

Many developers will jump straight for ORMs when given the chance.

Which for certain types of applications ORMs absolutely have their use.

Some ORMs have weird design issues. Eloquent for example allows you to pull relationships lazily on single objects, so if you're in a loop that'll create a lot of queries. So much for laziness! I'm OK with this ability, but the API shouldn't encourage it by making it trivial.
