Probably a few reasons - 

a) Preference
b) XSLT is super super fast for XML transformations
c) You can do all sorts of nifty things like dynamic ordering with XSL
that you can't do as easily with CF (and it's still super fast).
d) You don't have to tranform XML to olnly HTML / XHTML

Personally, I find it faster development time wise, to turn XML into
HTML with XSL, but that's because I have done XSL dev, and am very
happy using it.
