Are there any good reasons of using proprietary FHRPs like HSRP and GLBP
over VRRP ?

I know that one reason may be interoperability with some vendors
equipment and old gears, but VRRPv3 is now widely used, in particular
for IPv6.

Also VRRP can be easily extended with proprietary extensions and looks
very similar to HSRP in its operation.

Regards.

If you're looking for vendor neutral FHRP, VRRP has RFC documentation.
GLBP and HSRP are Cisco proprietary protocols and are protected
information other than the study material and how too out there.

    A shot in the dark. Correct.

    (My IETF history is short. =I won't know any older history.)

    ... I doubt any current or previous Cisco folks on the list would want
    to chirm in about history from inside Cisco on the GLBP topic...(?)
