Berg Electronics was founded in 1950. It blows my mind that we still use this connector after 70 years. https://www.connectortips.com/breakthrough-contact-desi

  Definitely a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The pin works well for motherboard headers in several ways. It's compact, robust and straightforward. Even if someone doesn't get the orientation right of, say, a 2x5 USB Header Block, they still understand that like size means like size and you push the black part down on the shiny golden pins.
