my 2p: like all version control software CVS has bugs, but between us, developers have a reasonable idea of how to avoid them in CVS, there's less knowledge about other version control systems. Also having the repository stored in human-readable (ish) files is an advantage if there was ever any repo corruption. You might also ask why some other OS use source control software which they don't even include in the base OS ;-)
