People don't like those as much.
That's a very subjective viewpoint. Realize that this is a balancing act between latency and overhead ... and you're firmly only looking at one side of the argument, instead of taking a comprimise in the middle ...
If I start arguing for 100HZ on the grounds that it's much more efficient, will that make 250/300 look much better to you? ;-)
