Is it maybe a burying instinct, like they have with their poop? The carpet might seem more like grass or lose ground, where it is possible to bury it. You don't really want the puke rotting away on the stone ground of your lion's den, do ya?

I heard that it might be that they want the traction, like something they can dig their claws into while they convulse

Whatever the reason, I hate it sooooo much. My apartment is 90% hardwood or tile, and my cat has puked on the small patches of carpet 30/30 times

I don't know about others but my cat does not try to bury puke. She immediately wants to get as far as from it as possible and will actively avoid the area until the puke has been cleaned up.
