I would guess it's because developers are much more likely to be using
all manner of weird & wonderful methods of access, like a text browser
(elinks) from a command-line over a packet-radio link to the
sub-Saharan bush, as they try to develop a script to download the site
and compile everything into Brainfuck. Or something.

A 'normal' person, on the other hand, wouldn't know a
non-Safari/Firefox/IE/Chrome browser if it smacked them upside the
head.
