Because they are reasonably cheap to buy nowadays. Most makers rely more on the long term sale of consumables, such as ink cartridges, etc, so price their printers fairly low.

Why ink jet is the most important printer in home user?
Inkjet printers are fairly cheap, though the ink cartridges can prove expensive, depending on heavy or light usage, of course. Inkjet printers are usually easy to maintain and clean. The main problem, especially if the printer isn't used very often, is drying ink blocking the print-head, etc. Personally, I prefer my mono laser printer, but then I don't want to do colour printing anyway.
Why daisy wheel printers are not used today?
Probably because people wanted more flexibility from their printers. Daisy-wheel printers are limited to the character set on the wheel. If you want a different font, you need to physically change the wheel for a different one. Dot matrix printers cured that by using tiny pins striking through an ink ribbon. However - their downfall was that they could only print in one colour (again unless you changed the ribbon). Inkjet printers have multi-colour cartridges - enabling them to combine red, yellow, blue and black ink into millions of different colours.
