Because it's really hard to kill off the market leader when the market leader is embedded into the core of how a company works.
I don't buy that it's a matter of competitors not being better. It is more about inertia.
The argument you have here could equally be applied to C++ or Cobol "Why is new code being written in these languages? Why is C++ so popular even when there are many other competitors? Certainly tons of languages have tried."
I currently work in a field that is disrupting existing products that were, no joke, written in the 90s in VB6. It can be super hard to sell our product to a lot of people, not because our product isn't better, but because they've been using our VB6 competitor since the 90s.
