My mother was an early childhood teacher for decades and used it in everything she printed for her classes. I asked her why and she said it bore the closest resemblance to proper block print out of all the fonts available. I went through several bouts of unnecessary glyph modifications in my own handwriting when I was a kid because I thought various fonts looked cool so maybe there's something to it.
Personally I don't get the outrage. In my opinion the likes of Bradley Hand ITC and Papyrus are abused more often but nobody's ever accused me of having good taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
