The answer is simple - people post what they want to post about. I think Fritz is a well respected engine that has been around a long time and always near the top of the charts. IMO, it is one those rare engines that was near the top 12- 13 years ago and it is still near the top, i.e., it has kept with the changes in chess programming. Fritz has always been known to provide very reliable pvs and play very sound. It is known for being avery difficult engine for humans (more so that others).
