There are a couple of potential reasons.
1. Queries have been around longer, and the ability to manipulate them from
CF was introduced in CF 3.x. So, some people are simply used to using them
in this way.
2. A query is easier to work with in some ways, once it's been created. You
can simply loop over it with CFOUTPUT, for example.
