Probably it's because they think it's where money floats, seeing ES as a train to push them forward as well.
Not long time ago, ~ 2 years of so, had a case where dev team (okay, it was just 2 persons of developers) asked to setup ES to offload some searches from DB (mysql). I've asked why not using Sphinx/Manticore and one of the reasons they said they want ES is cuz in Laravel [php framework] they have some nice libs to work with it, while for Manticore it seemed to be more work for them. Quite shocking reasons from my POV, but real story.
