Why do so many wpf controls implement CLR properties instead of dependency properties ?

Hello,

is it because the controls programmers are lazy, too hard to implement or not knowledgeable?

Wether they are custom controls from 3rd party vendors or Microsoft itself, very much controls have often clr properties instead of DP. Result is I can not bind to them and is wpf not all about binding? :/

My next side question would be, why do so many wpf controls offer visual parts but they are not member of the visual tree ? see wpf datagrid columns, headers...

What do you think?
