Many small children do not even know the difference between steam and IC. If they can tell a real steam engine from an IC look-alike, they often prefer the latter, because it does not do unexpected things like blow off its safety valve, release the drain cocks, etc. The main advantage from an operational point of view is the start up time! When I had a BR cab pass, I cannot say that any drivers that I talked to wanted to exchange their air-con cab for a steam loco. footplate! There may have been a few, but I just never met them.
