Listen to this for about a minute, this damn beat is in every other reggaeton song, the others are just a little different. I'm not complaining, I like reggaeton, but why do they do this?

well, reggaeton is still a fairly young genre and artists are slow to deviate form the rules of a genre at the beginning. Most genres share a particular feel or beat - take ska music, the guitar parts are all very similar. the same is true of reggae.
Most pop and rock music has the same basic backbeat structure of the snare hitting on beats 2 and 4. the reggaeton feel of the snare falling on the "and" of 2 and 4 is sometimes known as the "Dem Bow" beat - named after the song by Shabba Ranks. Shabba is a dancehall artist and has songs with different feels, but for whatever reason this feel (usually on a drum machine) has become one of the defining characteristics of reggaeton...

The old reggaeton had that sound. Now, many producers have found alternative sounds instead of just that one. This genre will evolve further and make more sounds soon.
That song was made in 2004, so it's kinda old. I have an alternate version of that song.
