its cool electrum supports bip39 but why wasn't bip39 used exclusively ?

Idk, sometimes people don't like change for whatever reason. I don't see any reason at all not to support BIP39 but people are pretty radical 'round these parts.

(CRITICAL) Incorrect derivation for certain BIP39 keys, fund loss

P.S. Electrum is not effected by this.
