I think that's depends on writer. Some writers think 1-indexed (1-based) is more natural problem statement than 0-indexed one. Or if writers don't think about 0-indexed or 1-indexed, many problems will be 1-indexed. (It's only my guess, if it isn't I'm sorry)
By the way, how did you get the information of "90% of programmers are using 0-indexed"?
What indexing is more natural? It looks like discussion about is zero natural number.
I think 1-based indexing is better because you will not get confused, when you say "first element", "second element", "third element" and so on.
