In the past I've run to test all LN implementations: LND, CLN, Eclair, PhoenixD, LDK, Electrum.
I think each one have its own particular use case.
LND is much easier to install and maintain and also connect other apps to it, as a node operator. Indeed LND is a hungry server, taking more resources than CLN and the others.
I cannot speak from the perspective of a wallet and apps developers why they prefer LND backends, because I do not write code.
