Just kind of the way things are here.....IIRC the front loaders have a reputation for leaking easily and thus are not bought by homes....You see a lot of front loaders in laundry-mats so I guess they have a reputation for being cheap coin ops too....When I was a kid in the 90's one almost never saw a front loader, but they seem a bit more common in stores and homes since Y2K. Most front load washers and dryers tended to sell for use in tight places as stackers.
The nice part about the top loaders is that you normally don't need to bend down as much to load/unload.
I'm far from an expert on this so take all that with a grain of salt.
