Fax machines are very easy to use, compared to scanners :
you slide a document in, you type a couple of digits and  then press send
button

For most scanners or MFP, you can scan a document sliding it in just like
you would when faxing it, but the trouble would be that, frequently, you
don't have an easy numeric pad to type your callee's number or address :
that's why users don't like to use scanner to send documents.
