Mostly cost honestly, commercial electronic scales are expensive. A quick google puts them at $375 where the old style are only $175
And really, why would they ever buy a new one? How long as that doctors office existed? They probably bought the scale 20 years ago and haven't had to replace it yet. Also, the electronic ones are spring based, and can suffer somewhat from drift errors when their springs age. They need periodic calibration. The balance style is much less sensitive to this, their wear modes don't really screw with their calibration (that would only happen if you chipped the weights).
We bought a detecto, pricey but damn accurate

Get a balance scale. We have this one and love it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00065EQJU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Ly7nDbKAFAY8Z

This drove me and my wife nuts. I used to be 340 lbs and I would get up to 10 lbs of variation in 10 minutes time. It was very depressing and obnoxious.
We finally bought one of these, https://smile.amazon.com/Detecto-Balance-Doctor-Physician-Height/dp/B00065EQJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491832759&sr=8-1&keywords=Dr+scale that was almost 10 years ago and we haven't looked back.
Just invest in a real doctor's scale that will remain accurate for life.
