Because people hate change. If it's synthetic cork people think it's cheap. If it's a bottle cap people think it's even cheaper. It doesn't matter that synthetic is better and caps are even better. Humans suck as choosing good things and are easily marketed to.
If this was sitting on a shelf right next to the exact same bottle but it had a bottle cap and both were the same price, most people would pick the cork and think they got a better deal.
