Cost as mentioned above is not the only reason. Being able to load a flamethrower 180gr 44 magnum round and then load some with trail boss as powder puff loads that feel as light as a 38 is part of the reward. Loading 7.7arisaka for .40 a round instead of $1.50 a round is big. Loading rifle ammo with trail boss for a super low recoil load for beginners is fun too.
Do a cost return on 55gr 556 and it is not a lot of savings. Do the same for super accurate 75grain match loads and you will see a much bigger savings and be making accurate ammo.
Part of reloading is a hobby and if you like reading and mechanical hobbies this can be part of the "fun".
