Why do so many companies still prefer Tableau?

This is not rage bait or looking to stir up a controversy. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion.
Having used Power BI for many years, I was asked to develop some Tableau dashboards. Let just say it felt like riding a bike with flat tires, after having driven a sports car for years.
Have any of you found yourselves in a similar situation?
Why do you all think people insist on using Tableau, when it's limited in comparison (in my opinion) and expensive as hell?

Looking through job boards, seems like every other company is looking for Tableau developers.
What's your take on this?
