Easy to melt and cast into shapes, or hammer into shapes while strong enough to keep said shape, easy enough to find and purify, more common than other low melting point metals, it survives a decently long time without corroding into nothing also

Because its very common and very cheap. It's also a biproduct of silver mining, so they basically had more than they knew what to do with.

water tastes sweet, lead only makes your tastebuds more sensitive ig

its one of the first metals that was discovered easier to reduce than tin, zinc, iron, sasy to melt which also makes the reduction process, reasonably common, easier, easy to process, but not very useful for tools
good for sling and gun bullets, casting anything if other properties dont really matter, and to seal things, ignoring that its toxic or where it doesnt matter

It's lethality towards children is it's best quality, overall as apposed to mercury which is lethal to adults. The ocean is fat and hungry.
