1. It's code reuse. Don't rewrite code that's already written.

2. It's harder to understand. "Why didn't this use the standard library function? Is it doing something different? It doesn't look like it, am I missing something?"

It’s definitely not _always_ just about code reuse, particularly when you start really stacking GHC pragmas and such.
