I buy videos from various sources and unfortunately there is no single standard format being adhered to. This means I can buy videos from vendor x in avi format, from vendor y in mpeg format, etc. Using ffmpeg I found I had to constantly adapt to changes and create profiles etc. Additionally I also had to pay for colocation of a couple of servers to actually handle the encoding.
A lot of people outsource things like programming, writing, etc. and I guess I found "outsourcing" my video encoding was more cost effective for me
I free up resources, I don't have to worry about the changing landscape of video, if a certain video type fails to convert I simply rely on experts to get it sorted or tell me what the issue is.
