Or because Nagios has an existing user base, user confidence, lots of 
flexibility for plug-ins, and the front ends and interfaces to it are 
all built up. By the time you get finished building up all those 
associated features, you'll have spent man-years of programming time and 
made it much bulkier.
Now, if you'd care to build a more efficient back-end for it, or improve 
its error reporting, cool.
