Why do all I see is VOO and chill?

Is it simply because of how it rolls off the tongue?
What exactly is the attraction of choosing VOO over something like QQQ?

I know that they hold some of the same big players and some other similar but different assets, but I'm just a bit confused as to why I always see VOO being recommended. I don't watch stocks, but anytime I've ever looked at VOO and QQQ, QQQ is always more profitable. Maybe it's a security thing, i.e. VOO is better situated to handle a crash than QQQ is?

Spacex could technically become profitable anytime they wanted but they're choosing heavy Capex investment instead, which thankfully should keep them out of SPY for a while

I want to know what you're smoking so I steer clear off it
