Linked lists are cool but they are terrible for cache performance, so their apparently elegant performance characteristics are often illusory. And hybrid data structures which get you the best of both worlds are quite complicated to implement. I think that's why there's a general pressure against using them unless you have a very specific reason (and ideally some measurements) to demonstrate that they are a good option.

(part of this I think is some C teaching which tended to overemphasize linked lists because they are useful for teaching the concept of pointers, which gave a lot of people learning C the impression that it should be the default way to represent a list of objects, when it's far more the exception than the rule)
