Because people already have it installed. And most of the other gaming chat tools suck (Revolt isn't bad, but, you cannot use that as a content creator at the same time as discord, as discord for some weird reason recognizes that as the game Re-Volt, a 1999 game (so streaming etc via discord fails) and oddly doesn't seem to want to update this (I'm not saying it is intentional behaviour of making life harder for the competition, but it is making it intentionally harder for the competition).
And for the rest, it just is easier, and maintaining both a discord, a forum a reddit, a wiki etc etc is a fulltime task.
