The _only_ reason that I can think of is that more(1) does not clear

The less(1) behavior can be annoying to some people (sometimes even
myself when using less to show contents of a file and ^Z to paste
them), and unfortunately quite a few of them also happen to be the
more vocal ones when it comes to a change.
I find that behaviour infuriating
I page down to a place to get some text on the screen to use as a
reference, then exit to run a command with that information, and *bam*
the info I wanted to use has gone away.
