It is because it seems like 90% of the sales of S&W M&P rifles are Sport IIs. Look at the threads in this section. Almost all of them are about the Sport IIs.
If you walk into your avg LGS I bet they have a Sport II but no other S&W AR15.
Add to that so many people shop exclusively on price point that the Sport II always comes up because it is just about the cheapest mass produced AR15 by a major company that people recognize.
