This points out the real issue. OSPF and IS-IS are close enough that other factors usually outweigh their differences. The choice of IS-IS in this case is really the result of the choice of an equipment vendor. These days at least, vendors are not chosen because they implement IS-IS. IS-IS is chosen because of some vendors' protocol implementations.
It may have been the result of vendor choice/issue in the past but I don't see to many people running IS-IS planning to switch over any time soon. For the record there a number of shops were the lack of IS-IS would make your product a non-starter.
