Mainly because so much jQuery already out there. For a fresh project it's harder to make an argument for it, but if you work with legacy code you probably have to know jQuery.
Personally I like jQuery. Like so many developers I started using it a long time ago because it solved numerous browser inconsistencies and incompatibilities. Then I got used to the clean and concise syntax. Now I use htmx more than jQuery.
