Because it was easier to use than LILO.

Possibly.  Grub inherited the "standard Linux bootloader" crown
from LILO, so there are a lot of people who've learned how to
use Grub.  At least for what I've needed to do, Grub has always
been good enough (there were cases when LILO wasn't).  For real
world products, being "better" doesn't win. Being the first one
who's "good enough" wins.
