Why doesn't any hardware review sites use Dolphin to benchmark new CPUs?

The lack of easy repeatable benchmark would by my guess though recording your own isn't difficult, but it's more work than putting timedemo demo1 in the console.

I don't know WTH Cinebench does or why I should care about it yet that's many people's weapon of choice. SuperPi is next to useless, but a few cling to it.
