Legacy codebase. The library is still loaded up on every page. May as well use it, and mixing up querySelectorAll() and $() in the same application sounds like a recipe for disaster.

It's just not a priority to do massive rewrites just to expunge jQuery. If I started a project from scratch today, no, I wouldn't use it.
