Another reason, on digital pedals, is precision. For analog circuits, a potentiometer can let you get any possible value between two points (more or less). But for a digital pedal, the pot input on the chip might only distinguish between 512 positions, even if for the user it feels like you're smoothly sweeping between every possible delay time between the min and max. So if the range is from 10-2000ms and you have 512 pot positions, there aren't even enough positions for every ms value between the min and max. Most modern delays don't deal with this limitation though.

I thought this was pretty succint tbh

More room for cat hair

Can confirm, bigger pedals have more room for cat hair.

To answer the question though. Manufacturers which are mostly musicians tend to build stuff they like or stuff they think people like. Sometimes that is limited by the tools or the budget available at that time to make that product a reality as a business. If it was both cheaper and lawful to sell people cats in boxes, instead of silicon, someone would be all over it. Behringer maybe.

This is also why analog delays sound better on guitar: the cats aren't fond of bass instruments.

This doesn't bode well for you

NEW YORK -- Bode Miller knows he puts his life at risk when
he skis drunk, but the outspoken Olympic favorite admits he may try
the dangerous activity again.

"Talk about a hard challenge right there. ... If you ever tried
to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy," Miller told "60
Minutes" for a segment that will air Sunday. "Try and ski a
slalom when ... you hit a gate less than every one second, so it's
risky. You're putting your life at risk. ... It's like driving
drunk, only there are no rules about it in ski racing."

Asked if the risk meant he would never ski drunk again, Miller
replied, "No, I'm not saying that."

There is only one true Bode.
