It's simple really: looping is something we've all done a ton. Map is just a specialized version of something you do all the time, made better/simpler: what's not to like (and learn quickly)?
Reduces are used much, much less often. Most devs don't get familiar with them as a result, so every time they have to read a `reduce` they have to re-learn it. And of course, it's a much more involved/complex function, so that exacerbates it.
