Well, one of the problems is simply maintenance of kernel.org.

It's just _simpler_ to use rsync for everything.

Look at the current gitweb caching discussion. Did anybody actually step up to be a gitweb maintainer on kernel.org?

Same deal. Simplicity and lack of maintenance is sometimes not just a good idea, it's a requirement.
