a personal thing, but is there any reason "not" to use it?

After many years of fly fishing I just learned the Albright a couple
years ago when I first went fishing in the Salt. I like the knot and now
use it for a number of connections including tying on tippet sections
when I'm tying together two pieces of nylon that differ widely in
diameter.

I used it years ago when trolling for salmon (blech...) on Lake Michigan
with my dad. He liked it for linking leaders to flashers and whatnot. Just
stuck, I guess.
