That's largely because it's so much cheaper. For many industrial applications silver is the next best metal to gold, but it's close enough that gold isn't worth the cost.
There are a couple of properties where silver is the best. If I'm remembering correctly, it's thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as reflectivity.
