Blockchains, like Bitcoin, often use secp256k1 instead of secp256r1 due to historical and performance reasons. secp256k1's Koblitz curve provides certain computational efficiencies. Additionally, some have security concerns about potential backdoors in secp256r1, since its constants were not generated transparently.
