Because OTA is free and requires very simple equipment. A lot of older folks grew up not having to pay for TV at all, so I can see this appealing to them.
Others want to get local channels without paying for cable/youtubeTV/directTV.

Reply to I recently saw Blade Runner (1982) and really did not get the appeal. Why is this movie so iconic? by Joseph_Santos_Cruzz
There's a reason the film was famously nicknamed "Blade Crawler" and underperformed at the box office. You're not the only one underwhelmed.
But all the things you appreciated are what's made it iconic.

Figures Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line, would get into robotics.

Reply to Considering he was a big star on 90210 back during the 1990s, why do you think Luke Perry didn't develop a big career after he left the show ala say Johnny Depp who became a movie star after leaving his very own teen drama, 21 Jump Street? by KevTravels
Perry had less acting range and was not as quirky as Depp. Plus he was older when he got famous on 90210.

Reply to An TV show is filming on my property. The location scout offered an inconvenience fee. Can I ask for more money? by damniyam
Do you own the property? Did you already give them permission to film there?
And four days? You should ask for much more.

Other options cost money, even if it's just for high speed internet, and are largely more complicated than simple OTA.
