As someone who has to spend way too many hours “dumbing down” models to suit requests for Sketchup files, I would say it’s because Sketchup is a bloody toy whose popularity has actually been an impediment to progress, not unlike how the fax machine set electronic communications back 10 years. If I ask someone what their 3D software experience is and all they say is “Sketchup,” I say, “Okay, so what’s your 3D experience?”
