I'm not 100% sure but I think it was a historical thing from professionals of yore. Or just the other side of the pond. They used Brix so Brix came here. But available tools guided our way of brewing. Now everything is so accessible but so used to SG.

The Germans use Plato, the British use SG. Not sure about the others in Euroland.

English speaking maybe it's a matter of proximity for others?

The Plato scale has a genuine practical meaning which for original wort is % sugar, aka % extract w/v.
It is also used in classification and taxation.
