I believe that the main reason is legacy behavior from Windows 3.x.

As I've mentioned before, Microsoft officially deprecated the MDI  
approach with the introduction of Windows95, but allowed existing  
apps to be grandfathered in.

So I think your assessment is correct. They ask for what they are  
used to, and aren't aware of alternatives.
