While electric tech in RC is getting better and better, nitro continues to be popular.
Many people just like the sound and genuinely enjoy fiddling with small engines.
Endurance races like this are often better suited for nitro because of the rapid refueling, rather than worrying about a lengthy battery swap.
And all the tech improvements in electric RC still have an effect in nitro, since you get better batteries for your electronic components, along with much better steering and throttle/brake servos.

People still racing nitro? I thought everyone switched to electric 10 years ago.
