Exactly like sticking with blub, which was only chosen because of historical accident, but they're stuck with it because it would cost too much to stop all progress while refactoring everything to work around it.

And the point is still ridiculous with the explicit comparison to maths, which is somehow different because there exists wrong proofs.
