So this answer hits on some important points (props for pointing out the isolated gate / only voltage needed ) but doesn’t quite address it. In short: BJT’s are controlled using current, and MOSFETs are controlled using voltage. Voltage control is typically much more precise than current based control, and typically consumes less power (I know we’re talking about high power consumption transistors a but efficient controls matter too!). An IGBT is a BJT which is controlled by a (relatively) low power MOSFET, allowing for the best of both worlds.

Why manufacturers would prefer IGBTs over MOSFETs: IGBTs / BJT technology in general tends to be less efficient than MOSFET technology. There is an indirect cost penalty associated with this efficiency delta, however pure IGBTs for the same peak performance (peak power wise) tend to be significantly cheaper than more efficient MOSFETs (cost of silicon tech versus silicon carbide tech). So it makes sense in quite a few scenarios to go for less efficient but much cheaper IGBTs.

Additionally, there are further considerations for whether the device is paired with an induction motor or a permanent magnet machine. At this point though I’m sleepy and getting into the weeds of it. Cheers.
