I always assumed it was down to them creating their homepages early on (as in: the mid-to-late 90s) and having gotten used to editing the raw HTML file using vi/emacs/ed/whatever when they needed to update it. And they never had a reason to change that workflow.

My oldest, still active, website was created in that style around 20 years ago and only in recent years did I change to a git and ansible based deployment instead of just editing the raw files on the server over ssh.
