I personally only use the official ones because custom tilesets don't have that lemmings "feel" to them. I've tried making my own custom tilesets but I can't think of good themes that fit with lemmings.
In my opinion, having too much variety can get boring(ironic, right?). Using too many tilesets in one pack can lead to an underabundance of certain level play styles, making players just rush through levels waiting for the next one of a certain type.
Also, the original tilesets have many differences in the general feel, level play style, decorational style, etc. Some tilesets that are "inspired"(too put it nicely) by the original tilesets can feel like a v2 of a tileset with recoloring.
Lemmings is a very expandable game, but sometimes expanding something too far makes it not feel like what it is.
This doesn't mean I dislike custom tilesets, though.
Those are my reasons anyways.
