Because it’s not the end of the world? Shoes, carpet, no shoes, who cares - nothing fucking happens, you don’t catch leprosy and die.
I could maybe see an argument in countries where it snows and shit, because lots of water could make it soggy and potential for mold but otherwise it’s fine.
Here in Australia it’s not even uncommon to walk around on the footpath/shops in barefeet. Slightly less common these days but you still see it and no one bat’s an eye.
I never suggest you would catch leprosy and die.
I live in a country where it often rains and (used to) snow in the winter. And even if it did not carpets are hard to clean. You cannot just nicely wipe them like hardwood or laminate or tile floors. You need specialised equipment to do it. We have a rug at home and even with everyone wearing slippers inside it gets dirty and impossible to clean.
I just cannot imagine myself being comfortable with a acarpwted floor.
