I only played the StarCraft demo two decades ago. Why is that so? Rushing?

Strong and unpredictable early game, solid middle game, strongest late game. It also has some of the best units in the game: zerglings, mutalisks, defilers. Especially defilers, they are arguably the strongest spellcasters in the game

Production speed scaling due to hatches.

If you want 6 carriers at the same time, build 6 starports.

If you want 6 ultralisks or 6 mutas at the same time, build 2 hatches (which you already have)

One consequence of this is that changing army composition as Z is very easy.
