As much as the serial numbers have been filed off Pathfinder *is* D&D. It's 3.5 with house rules. D&D is the default TTRPG for most people. In fact for most of the world D&D is the definition of TTRPG. When people get into the genre they overwhelmingly play D&D.So new players join games that are already being played and since those games are mostly D&D those players mostly learn to play D&D, which means when they recruit new people those people play D&D. The process feeds on itself, and because the internet threw a hissy fit over 4e a lot of people switched to Pathfinder because it was still their beloved 3.5. Now the cycle keeps going. You have people joining the hobby who have never played anything but Pathfinder and so they keep playing Pathfinder, which recruits more Pathfinder players.Regardless of whether Pathfinder is nasty haggis or the nectar of heaven people will keep on eating it because it's a social activity and everyone else is eating Pathfinder, so you better eat it too if you want to play.Mod Note: Redacted for language.  Keep it clean, folks!  ~Umbran</blockquote>
