Always works with no fancy drivers and aftermarket toner is cheap.
Part of the reason though is selection bias. I prefer the simplicity of a B&W laser printer and don't mind the "lo-fi" aesthetic.
It’s like $50 now and the toner lasts for soooo many pages it’s basically free. In other words, for the price of an inkjet cartridge that lasts maybe a year, this thing lasts forever.
