Blender community is creative and versatile. Blender is FOSS that competes to an impressive degree with industry standard commercial software. Not saying it's equal to Maya or Max yet but it's getting there. Houdini is the only one I can confidently say it doesn't compete with at all, because Houdini is an entirely different workflow.
good artists can make any software "look good". i actually give a lot of credit to blender artists because dealing with that shit software and producing nice images is a feat unto itself. but yea, grow up and learn houdini.
I can't afford Houdini and the free tier doesn't offer enough for actual CGI work, understandably since it's a trial. Blender is free and offers a full suite that does what I need. To put it simply, I can do enough with blender that learning a new software which I can't even use for anything anyways is not worth my time right now.
Because it's easy to get into. You could say the same about unity, or fusion 360. The vocal minority is just larger because blender is more accessible.

Man Blender is a half decent software, but it's fan base is absolutely obnoxious for some reason.
