And that reason would be one-off custom builds, where the cost to produce a mold would be prohibitive, not to mention the machinery needed to extract the same, or the sheer & torsional strength mandated by shipping classification.
There's much more to this equation than a material comparison. Each has its merits, place and purpose.
