It is, as mentioned by others, entirely governed by necessity.
There's no doubt that my full-size Dahon was better to ride than the Brompton, but I couldn't fit that in the back of my convertible mini.
Also, some train companies will only accept bikes that 'double fold' - my train company was going to be one of those - so I tried to future-proof myself by going Brompton as it fitted all my requirements.
Now I love it. But it wasn't my default choice.
