I agree with snipforfun, it may all come down to the almighty dollar.
My two cents on why I use cotton thread only on cotton is that it becomes part of the quilt, just as threads of cotton are woven to create fabric, the cotton thread used to piece or quilt becomes part of a whole. Just as using poly thread on a poly quilt....which IMHO would be a very good use of poly thread.
