That's a question for Square. Not why the players don't use but why they haven't kept up with the times.

Linkshells and CWLS suffer from some serious limitations. Once CWLS became possible they should have converted all LS instead of maintaining two styles. The number of participant slots is hilariously stingy (128 for LS and 64 for CWLS). They require you to be manually added by a LS admin while you're both online. If you have the temerity to roll alts each of those must be added separately AND they eat another participant slot.

Discord suffers none of that. Even better you don't need to be logged into the game on the right character in case somebody is trying to coordinate something for the group.

Fellowships... just weren't thought out very well. At best they point you to a LS or Discord. Maybe if they grafted Fellowship's recruitment interface onto LS that would fix some of the above.
