Sadly, network effects. The same reason that eBay doesn't have any serious competitors, despite the awful experience they offer.

What's so awful about eBay? I have always been able to find pretty much exactly what I want at a reasonable price.

It's great for buyers. It's awful for sellers. They charge massive fees and offer virtually no protection against buyer fraud.
