Not because of any problem with XHTML itself, but rather because of things
that surround it:-

* the world's most used browser supports XHTML only partially,
and mainly co-incidentally (i.e. because it's close enough to
HTML);

* a lot of XHTML authors don't really know what they're doing
and just treat it like it's "HTML 5";

* the whole "text/html" versus "application/xhtml+xml" issue;

and so on.
