I'm not an expert on this but I believe it's because, the MIT License basically lets you do whatever you want with whatever it is licensing, not really any restrictions. A software license determines how the software can be reused. Because people are forking the stuff, etc. it really shouldn't be anything else, or it would probably technically be illegal for people to fork your repls
Like, Microsoft's software like Word, etc. probably have pretty restrictive licenses since they want you to buy it and it's not an open source free thing like all repls are. All repls are open source really, unless you private them, and they should always be free, so an MIT License is the best way to go
TLDR: The MIT License is used for open source software, and since all repls are open source, the MIT License is put on them, making them officially open source.
