Since:
a. most people think the world isn't interlaced
b. progressive content is way easier to handle
c. H.264 was the last codec that really supported interlaced content (H.265 only has some compared 'ugly' support and for example AV1 doesn't have interlaced support at all)
d. LCD displays are build for progressive content
e. hardware deinterlacers usually aren't that good, so producing interlaced content nowadays is producing a lacking product.

"... world isn't interlaced" - I totally agree, however the video world is way far from ideal, an you have to balance between cost of your program and perfection, unless you going to produce way overpriced program in order to follow such philosophy.
Unfortunately the MOST producers I'm working with do not think this way (a.,e) and I'm not going to argue with them.
e. - Terranex so far satisfying the most worldwide video production and broadcast studios.
