Patricia,

I think the fill flash takes much less thought than natural light. With natual light you can get harsh shadows which are not very flattering. The fill flash gives an even homogeneous look to the features which are already understood by those looking at the photos. Most people are wowed with the dramatic back drops and it's just much safer for their purpose. They will get many more acceptable shots using fill.
