Same odd reason some people prefer to ride a horse now & then! Not
difficult to come up with many other examples.

Any good audio engineer can make a transistor sound like a tube but
one thing they can't do is make a transistor glow like a tube. *That
my friend is the answer.
Actually, it's easier to make a transistor glow like a tube than to make one sound like a tube.

Yes, but if you blink you miss it.
Sometimes bjts explode if they try to get hot. Then you need to have
eyes wide shut.
