Because every other fan format that pops up ends up being way worse. The worst is that points based system idiots suggest that result in everyone running 5 shitmons and an Uber.

This, and the fact that Game Freak themselves only care about dubs.

Because they have the most popular free online simulator. I used to play Pokemon Online, and they had their own rules, but it became less popular than Showdown, I guess because Showdown could be played in browser rather than having to download and install. Also there's no such thing as professional players, maybe a really great VGC player can make a living playing pokemon but I doubt it.

PO died because they didn't want to officially adopt smogon despite the smogon server being the biggest one on PO, while showdown did.
And also because showdown is better in pretty much every way.

There's no other communities besides smogon (for 6v6 singles) that are worth a shit.

There is a reason why there is no 6v6 singles in VGC. Do you really want to play a game (god forbid 2-3) that last 60+ mins? People will bring mons like that.

Nobody is forcing Smogon rule on anyone. If you don’t like Smogon rule, just simply don’t play it. Smogon is no different than a person saying let’s lave a battle, but let’s not use Mythicals.
