Because people know those maps by heart and like them.

If you want to play on different maps, you better have an online
partner for that, or then be prepared to spam the channels for non-LT
game.

Well, yes. I'd never agree to play on an (for me) unknown map if I
know my opponent is close to my own playing level - Map knowledge (or
rather, your enemy's lack of it) is a /HUGE/ advantage (depending on
the map, of course).
That, and you really can't play to your fullest ability unless you
know the ins and outs of the playing field in question. It's a vicious
circle; Even those few who otherwise might play other maps don't do
it, since all they can find are LT games, and thus they never get that
familiar with the other maps, and as a result don't really want to
play them due to their unfamiliarty.
And no, that little preview-minimap before the game doesn't really
help the issue ;-P
.....OH MY GOD I'VE WRITTEN SOMETHING ON-TOPIC!
