Why not use WireGuard?

Because Wireguard requires compiling either a custom kernel or a kernel module, Wireguard isn't available on all platforms, configuration of Wireguard for advanced configurations means needing knowledge of how to script network configuration on your client platform versus more advanced ipsec clients have configuration knobs for many more use cases and Wireguard has characteristics that don't make it a good of a fit for some use cases especially ones that involve dynamic routing.
