If you answer the question why 95% of the desktop market is owned by
Microsoft or why gasoline is used as the fuel for internal combustion
engines, you will know the answer as to "why sip".
The "best" technology dosn't always win the market.

Well, let's see.. 99.99% of the available VOIP hardware only support
SIP, MGCP and H.323, but not IAX2. Is that a good reason?
No. 95% of the marketplaces uses Windows. Drive the marketplace to use
better protocols.
IAX2 calls between servers carry the signaling and media in the same
connection, which is good for NAT issues, but bad for CDR and traffic
control issues. SIP handles them separately, so you can keep complete
CDR without forcing the media to follow the same path. Is that a good
reason?
Yes, but the dynamic port allocation and ABSOLUTELY INSANE WORDINESS and
WASTAGE of the SIP control protocol is reason enough for me to never want to
support it. While perhaps not worth much on my own, I am voting with my
wallet and my feet. I will not support SIP, nor will I purchase products or
services which require it.
