Why do we still use steam as a primary means of producing electricity?

It’s been more than 200 years since the widespread implementation of the steam engine.

Why is this still the most prevalent means of producing electricity? With things like fusion reactors, why is it so hard to convert the thermal energy into electrical energy?

After thousands of years , we’re still boiling water to make electricity. We just need to find a safe, cheap way to do it. I’m not here to debate nuke plants. I think they can work.
