I suspect that it's because it's a lot cheaper in infrastructure 
requirements to use.  Maintaining a hexapod motion base that uses 
hydraulics is very expensive.  Hell doing a 3DOF hydraulic base is spendy.

There's a guy on the net that's put together some insanely cool DIY 
actuators that aren't that expensive to build.  I don't have a link handy 
right now though.
