Why? It's synonymous with the scariest part(s) of the original game, and its so versatile; it can be themed so many different ways and still work. Prison, laboratory, sewer, living area and whatever other scary ideas you can think of. Mansion, castle nor cellar base can do all of those effectively. Also has the most pieces of any set by far, which makes it so much better in my eyes; many more possibilities.
I've just found in general most maps made with it are fairly boring, it is very versatile but I haven't seen many really epic or interesting looking maps made with it, while say castlebase or mansionbase (my favorites) can often be used in very new and interesting ways. That, plus the fact that unless you're a very experienced map maker dungeonbase maps generally are pretty bland (only to really be topped by mansionbase, but personally I think when it's done right mansionbase is the best set). On top of that, you can't get many feelings out of it other than dread and despair, where as say a mansionbase or castlebase map could easily be used to envoke calm, fear, saddness, safety, etc. depending on how they're done.
