Mostly because I don't like waiting 😀.
Just an example - when clicking the backspace (and holding it) - I don't like to wait before characters get deleted (this is the delay until repeat configuration) , and once they start to get deleted - I like that they get deleted fast (the key repeat).
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
There are shortcuts for "delete back a word" or "delete to end of line", etc., which I prefer. I can't remember holding a key down to do anything for years!
There are indeed 😀 option+backspace & cmd+backspace, however sometimes I prefer to have the ability to click and hold. It really depends on the situation.
