Because a cat is a terrible thing to waste.
Without even reading the wikipedia piece, I can give my own annoyance with anyone using cat to pipe through sed, or awk, or perl.... To me, that says they don't know their tools.
I am 53 and I have programming since I was 16. I've been using Unix/Linux since 1977 and I've been gainfully employed since 1979 (never at a job where I had to use Windows). So I assure you I know what I am doing.
So why cat | sed?
