They probably use it since it seems to be a bit easier to learn than a lot of other languages, and also since it offers near-immediate results that kids can be proud of. How many kids, aside from enthusiasts, would be proud of making a program that can run on a CLI? Making a GUI would probably be a lot more exciting for them.
