Probably because it looks way different than what we play today while the open gl is more similar to modern fps, just not as polished. But back in the days open gl Q2 was an out of this world experience.

Like the sibling comment said it looked way more impressive back in the day. Plus it looks better when in motion precisely because of the dynamic lightning.

I thought the same (and I was around at the time & in the 90s thought the 3dfx version was amazing)! Today the SVGA version looks like a cool retro style where as the blurry/smooth 3dfx version just looks cheap rather than a stylistic choice (in reality neither were stylistic choices at the time & both determined by the hardware available).
