For me it's for sentimental reasons and for the lack of freedom the
ducks (or any other character) will have when being stuck in a certain
year in history. 

I like reading stories with an intended 'classic' look, but I also like 
stories which reflect the world of today. So, that's why I prefer looking
at the comics as being "timeless".
