Perhaps because wpasupplicant, accoring to wikipedia, supports Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, QNX, AROS, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, OS/2
(including ArcaOS and eComStation) and Haiku. […] it also implements
WPA and older wireless LAN security protocols.

OTOH iwd supports Linux.

And that's ignoring the "core goal of the project […] to optimize
resource utilization: storage, runtime memory and link-time costs.

Cheers,
David.
