There aren't good D2 compilers yet beside DMD, so they use what they can. And D1 and D2 aren't equal, D1 is simpler (and quite less fussy regarding immutability), so people that like D1 may not like D2 and people that like D2 may not like D1. Some features of D2 are not light (immutability) and some of the other features are seen by some people as not so essential (@property and other things). This is just speculation of mine, I don't know what they think.
