Because (a) major decisions like choosing a mainframe are not made by tech managers and (b) every company is built around vendor lock-in. Who do you think companies like Atlassian, Oracle, Salesforce etc sell to ?

It's a little off to think that a mainframe was "chosen". Software and the companies that write it and support it "chose" the hardware for you.
