If you mean by default, then the reason is that findstr is very weak
and incompatible (or non-existent) on older versions of Windows. One
can customize Emacs to use it, of course.
(My personal reason for not using findstr is that I don't want to
learn yet another tool with yet another set of incompatible options.
But that's me.)
