I think the answer can be put down to the usual suspects:
1) Force of habit/change is hard.
2) Ubiquity
3) Price
Really its the same explanation for McDs which makes just about the most abysmal hamburger one can manage. It says something awful about you when Burger King is a trade up.
I suspect there is an element that is akin to "cheating" on your hairstylist. Not quite simple as "change is hard" but more like guilt over changing, as if it is treasonous to your community or identity or something.
To that - get over it (and saying this as an immigrant whose first experience arriving at the city was stereotypically - Tims coffee + blueberry muffin. It was edible - even "delicious" then.). Their current baked goods is like the Washington apples of the fast food world - all looks but no good for anything else.
