Her eyes were originally considered red based on their first glimpse in the show, first impressions tend to stick. From then on people tend to disregard later evidence that invalidates it. It's the same with calling Derpy "Derpy" instead of "Ditzy".
As a result of initial impressions, fanfics and fan-art mentioning/showing her eyes are red were created, and that helped more people warm up to the idea and make the same first impression, so yeah, some people prefer it, if you prefer purple that's fine by you, don't complain though.
