I would think it is because aboot is the "even worse than worse" documented
of the two. Also, most (all) distributions use MILO to load the kernel no
matter what you are booting from, so users tend to stick with that.
And last but not least, SRM has a substantially larger memory footprint
than MILO, so people low on memory may not want to use it.
