It's not just that it's the best way, it's that it's the only way to practically extract a sizable portion of the energy produced.
The other capture options are generally effective on only a portion of the energy types released, and are often hindered by high heat.
Steam generation captures all the direct heat as well as any other energy forms such as light that resolve as heat. And convert that to electricity through one of mankind's most efficient machines, the turbine.
