Maybe they have little programs to write to calculate simple things and
they don't fancy writing them in awk.  There are a LOT of little things for
which BASIC is a much more suitable language than anything normally available
with Unix.  There are reasons why hardware stores sell hammers in many
different sizes and weights.  The same principle applies to tools for
problem solving.
