Why? Because people like to feel special, and not just a cog in the machine. In 25 man the only people who 'matter' are the tanks. The healers and dps are part of the machine, and only one of them gets to feel special when they top the meters. In 10 man everyone matters, even one death will likely cause a wipe further down the line and everyone needs to do their part to down the boss.
10 man also has less loot competition - sure that tier token will drop more often in 25 man, but you've got more competition. And in 10 man there's less lag, and some fights are easier (mostly the ones involving spreading out).
In the end, its the playerbase's preference that matters. If people don't join 25 man guilds its because they don't want to, not because Blizzard is wrong and has forced them not to do it.
There's only two types of people who like 25 man these days - the ultra elite, and the lazy people who like to blend into the background and not get noticed. Anything in between is rare nowadays.
So stop blaming Blizzard, and admit to yourself - you are the problem.
