Teflon works for beginners. People that fuck up their dishes a lot. If screwing up means that they will have to spend a half hour cleaning the pan afterwards, they may become discouraged. Beginners can't tell when the pan is hot enough to add everything and teflon eliminates that challenge. The equipment is cheap and easily replaceable.
Once people are experienced and ready to move on, they can get a nice stainless set but teflon works for the early years.
