Why are people afraid of drop thumbing?

It is my impression that people avoid or at least, shy away from drop thumbing.  Why is that?  Perhaps it is because I spent several years playing three-finger style, but I find nothing challenging about drop thumbing.  I find that tablature that is written to avoid drop thumbing tends to be boring to play.  It is so much more 'fun' for the hand to move the thumb around a bit rather than always lands on the 5th string.  Is this just my 'beginner' clawhammer impression, or does it tend to run true?
