There is also a significant electrostatic force even at low voltages when metal layers are getting this small. It's been a while since physics lessons for me, proportional to voltage I think? It is enough that storing the same value in memory locations moves the metal layers enough that after a couple of months you can read eg encryption keys with an electron microscope as the device has permanently deformed!

I'd guess due to it's low overhead - quick to boot and relatively "simple" in its construct.
