I believe the main reason is spatial is the default in upstream GNOME.

You know, what *you* or *I* consider more effective is not extremely 
relevant, as we are so-called "power users", net necessarily 
representative (with that said, I am quite ambivalent for Spatial or 
Browser, maybe with a slight preference for Spatial, where the tree view 
does not waste space when not needed)

Changing the default from Spatial to Browser could also generate the 
backslash of people ranting on their blogs about Browser not being the 
best choice, blog complaints are not an useful metric.
