uuencoding has been around much longer and is still the dominant encoding type for usenet. Interestingly, something called yenc has been slowing making its way into the scene, but I think some server are flagging it as spam and it is still young. From what I recall mime was not well designed for transporting binaries especially multi-part. Some popular decoders/news readers have poorly implemented mime support.

Granted my information is based on my limited and slightly dated exposure to usenet, it may still be accurate and might explain why MIME support was not added when usenet support was added a few years ago.
