That's because of inertia -- a lot of those companies invested big in SOAP in the early to mid-2000s. They're not going to throw away an investment that big just because it's not cool anymore.

But don't mistake that inertia for SOAP being popular. It's just that so much money has been sunk into it that enterprise users are resigned to being stuck with it for a while.
