the short answer is, because the lower bass frequencies are very difficult to properly capture with a mic, any mic, especially live. the thing dipshit soundguys do wrong isn't to use a di necessarily, but to use it for the entire frequency range of the bass. that's where the infamous obnoxious metallic clang comes from. the right way to do it, is to use a mic to get the bassist's tone, and augment the low end via di box.
if the club doesn't have a couple of massive bass bins in the floor, there's nothing useful that could be done with the di anyway.
