And yet, people seem to prefer POV-Ray for their high-quality instructions
rendering. So what am I missing?

To me, the reasons are mainly “historical”: the first way to get better images
than the output of Ldraw/MLCad/LeoCAD (which is not that bad for instructions!)
was POV-Ray. L3PAO then LPub did a lot to push POV as the renderer of choice.
Add to that the wrong belief that more realistic images are better and you get
the present situation... (compare an engine photograph to a well drawn
schematics and try to understand it ;o)
Now that LPub supports other renderers I mainly use LDGlite because it is the
fastest (for Technic models the improved quality of LDView is not that important
- little or no transparency).
