/High fructose corn syrup is much less expensive than sugar and sweetener also.

There is actually a whole list of reasons. In a nutshell: it is cheaper and produces more consistent, superior results (at least: in areas other than taste). Personally, I find ALL diet sodas to be superior in taste to the HCFS sweetened counterparts, without exception, and I'm pretty sure it's the flavor of the HFCS itself that I find unappealing. BUT of course I'm unusual in that regard.
