Among others. Tastes differ on licensing, look-and-feel, and consistent UI. Not just cross-platform, but within-platform as well: people may have other software that uses specific toolkits (aside from those that have been mentioned already, there are GTK-based GUIs) with which they want a compatible look-and-feel. The "batteries included" principle of the standard library is that there should be one way to do common things. Tkinter meets that standard. Other stdlib tools (IDLE at least, and that's a big one) use Tkinter. They would need to be ported if we wanted to encourage use of a fancier toolkit. But there's no need for that: their advantages are obvious, and using them is quite easy. And, most important of all, there are very different preferences among the candidates.
