As the other guy said, because they are way cheaper. I use them for media storage.
For 20tb of hard drive storage, you could expect to spend ~$400 (probably less these days), but the same price will get you a 5th that on ssds (maybe more these days)
If you are streaming video, hard drive read speeds are good enough.
