Because SMB is already established; it's not going anywhere. SAMBA doesn't exist as a replacement for other, proper, solutions. It exists to help people caught in a stranglehold. It's like methadone.

Mono would be fine too if it were used like this, but it's not, people are actually encouraged to use it.

In the first case you're simply adjusting to reality, in the second case you're helping bringing about one that isn't in your best interest.
