Also those who regularly print on certain things other than paper—print-on-fabric systems are usually inkjet, which makes sense when you think about it. And as of 10-15 years ago, some of the more expensive and complex inkjets (not the <$100 consumer loss leaders) had better colour fidelity than the average colour laser, which visual artists are willing to pay extra for.
The inkjet printer has a place, but it's a small niche, and 98% of people buying them really should be buying lasers instead.
As always, most consumers ignore the maintenance costs and buy the option advertised with the lowest price tag.
