Because everything X-men up to the early 90's (1992) has become subject of reverence and put on pedestals as "the classics" and images of a "golden age" of greatness, while everything afterwards is inferior "modern" and up for debate, critique and disregard.
So they keep comming back to stand out elements like that haircut as if they can conjur the feelings and nostalgia associated with a bygone era, hinting at an inability to create anything new that will be remembered and referenced just as much.
It's the same reason why basicly almost every X-men homage cover made over the past 30 years only ever make references to those produced up to the early 90's.
Which is admittedly a rather cynic perspective.
I always look to the character's own response as to why she continued with the hairstyle when given her full head of hair back on occasions (X-MEN ANNUAL #10 comes to mind)
"The style suits who I am".
Humberto Ramos dunnit right. No boring barbie hair. Modernize with the Mohican Undercut.

Actually, the mohawk has been on and off in popularity over the years (even now) and was never strictly 80's. The trend started in the 70's. Still, I dig storm with long hair too.

Antoine Dodson: In Ororo’s name, we go to war. War against the ugly suit, war against the dull, textureless Mohawk, war against the disrespect! Who’s with me?!
My friends, I thank you all for your support. It is time to begin advancing. My wish is to have everyone interested in participating to create their own posts tagging Marvel and Tom Breevort in each while using the hashtag #InOrorosName as well. We can do this.
Tom: There’s no need. Those images aren’t indicative of what Storm will be wearing or how her hair will look in the upcoming series.
