It wasn't chosen for no reason. It was chosen because it presents good test cases for image processing. Not great ones, just the best they had at that particular moment.
Sounds fair. If you can produce it as a more suitable test image than the others available, I'll use it.
You're right, I wasn't particularly clear. That was certainly the case originally, I just don't think there is a good reason for it going forward.
Historical reasons. I personally used it in a project around 2015 because of its history. And you'd need to use it if you're comparing against anything else that used it, though given its age, that seems unlikely.
But like I said elsewhere, I'm ambivalent about its future use.
