They do it for the color. It's a cross between silver and gold as far as color is concerned. It's not a precious metal. Jet engines use quite a bit of the material up in the front. It can't take any high temperatures so anything behind the fan and LP compressor can't be produced with titanium...........inconel then becomes dominant.
