Default Dealer vs Normal Mechanic

I've noticed a lot of people on this forum saying they've taken they're car into the ford dealer team to get issues checked out etc. when they're car is quite obviously out of warranty. I've always taken my car to a standard mechanic whenever it's needed work and from my experience that always works out a hell of a lot cheaper than the dealer quotes. Never had any issues with bad work, shoddy parts, recurring issues or anything of that sort (touch wood).

So my question is simple. Why take a car into the dealer team for repairs when it's out of warranty and purely out of your pocket? Am I missing something here?
