I don't know about too many other places in the country, or the world, but here in SoCal the answer is personality and ego.
There are tons of folks (predominantly, but far from exclusively, younger folks) who just have to be first off the line or ahead of you no matter the speed or conditions. To these people being behind virtually anybody else seems to be taken as an insult or slight. So, combine that type of person (with the manual trans and torque dip) and a similar type of person in an automatic equipped minivan (or Altima, Camry, Fusion, F150, etc, etc) than can just be lazy and floor it and they will call their Twin slow every single time.
