Because its cheap and good enough.
To staert the engine.

Even on an expensive sports car where they go to all sorts of lengths to
save weight? And then there's the problem that many of these 'new'
batteries simply don't work at low temperatures. Fine in California, but
not in whole chunks of the rest of the world...

Ever wondered why the most exoensive cars are still made of steel, when a
real performance car is made of alumnium, titanium, and carbon fibre,.

Yup. Yuu guessed it BECAUSE ITS CHEAP, AND GOOD ENOUGH.

There are plenty of newer expensive cars making much use of aluminium etc.
Even Jaguar. ;-) They've been somewhat of a pioneer in this. The snag is
it makes repair methods extremely expensive which in turn will push up
insurance premiums.
