I think it is mostly that people don't know about it or have the faint
notion that it is terribly complicated. More press and simple tools
bundled with popular dev environments would probably help.
And of course it is amazing to behold the sheer number and variety
of home-grown network-datastructure-specification languages out there.

It may be true that ASN.1 has no drawbacks, but it is true that it is
perceived at having some. After all this time one would think that the IETF
would use it more rather than turning out protocol after protocol with ad
