because kids loved scrappy
and kids were the target audience

now most adults hate him with a passion
but he was a hit with the audience the studio wanted.

remember the live action movie? they had sarah michelle geller base her daphne on buffy because they said daphne didnt really have a personality to go with.

now that may be true for the original series
but it became clear they didnt do enough research into the franchise.
because once fred and velma left the team and it was just daphne, shaggy, scooby and scrappy she started to become more like the groups leader which continued to 13 ghosts of scooby doo.

of course this is often forgotten and daphne's major thing now a days is that every new writer tries to put their own personal spin on her making her the most inconsistent character in the franchise
she will either be the best part of any new scooby doo show or the worst part
