If like us, because 1) LC is a bit too small for individual manipulation by our grubby hands in denser panels and 2) We could build an entire network out of nothing but singlemode SC/UPC connections in gigabit times (just putting small SC/UPC adapters to APC on the GPON CPEs), without needing a wide variety of adapters etc for the different use cases. Unfortunately in 10Gbit+ with the lack of SC on SFPs, the latter advantage is disappearing.
