SDL has been chosen in a very simple manner - comparing samples of same project description in different formats and informally voting which one is cleaner and more straightforward to read. Probably people who voted at that point were not representative selection but it hardly matters as conservative crowd can awlays stick with old json. As project description files are only parsed internally by dub, it is irrelevant how widespread and well-supported format is as long as it is easy to read and does the job.
