Why? I find it comfortable, I don't have issues with slipping, it is adjustable for waist and amount of weight used, it is affordable compared to some other types of belt setups, it is easy to pack in a gear box/bag for transport, it has a good solid plastic buckle that will not rust or corrode. It may not be for everyone but that does not mean it is not useable or not worth using.
If your profile is correct and you have less than 24 dives, I have no doubt that you have no yet had a failure with a plastic buckle. However, some people do 20 dives in a week... ask them what they think of the typical plastic buckle... BTW, if you have never tried a rubber belt, you will be surprised at how much better it is..
