Why? Things are working as well now as, if not better than when all airliners had yokes, are they not?

If a klutz like me can take off, land and recover from high-altitude stall in an A320 sim on my first or second attempt, then there can't be too much wrong with the setup.

If you can use Windows, you can use MacOS with no real issues. Same if you can drive with the steering wheel on the right as opposed to the left. If you can fly with a yoke you can fly with a sidestick. If both approaches work with no significant impact on safety, there's no compelling reason to standardise on one.
