Default Preference for Carbon Steel over Stainless Steel

When looking to buy a wok, even in the Posh Chinese supermarkets they are
all Carbon Steel. I know I can easily buy a stainless steel or non-stick
coated ones in department stores.

But since the Chinese are the masters of the wok, i wonder if there is a
reason in terms of their use and convenience for this *preference* for
carbon steel ?
