I can think of several reasons:

1. It's free.

2. It's quick. Some people will follow the scanlations and then later buy the official release.

3. It's easily available, wherever in the world you are, unlike many official translations.

4. When manga first started being marketed in English, there was a lot of really awkward translations. Even if you had no prior knowledge to the original story, they just sounded bad in English. So those who are old enough to remember that may still think that the official translations are still the same poor quality (personally, I think if you're really that concerned about the quality and authenticity of the translation, you should just learn Japanese so you don't have to worry about it).

5. It's free (yes, I listed it twice because I think this is probably the primary reason).
