Because Thunder has a decent 10 PP whereas Blizzard only has 5, Thunder gains full accuracy in rain (Which happens quite a bit since Kyogre is such a common sight in uber), whereas Blizzard's accuracy boost requires Hail (An awful move which no-one in their right mind would use) and even then only reaches 90%, and Thunder has a greater paralysis rate than Thunderbolt, whereas Ice Beam and Blizzard have the same freeze rate. Furthermore, ice attacks are primarily there to nail double weaks (like Rayquaza) and thus don't need as much power to get the job done.
