Same reason I stick to ANSI - its alphabetic order is identical to temporal order. I even name my folders with photos after the ANSI dates when the shots were taken, so it's equally easy to find them, and they sort the way they were taken. I made only one mistake there - the camera of origin and the ordinal number in it aren't a suffix, they are a prefix, so they sort by camera then by time. Too late now, will fix in next life.
