Why use HF Networks ??

Just out of curiosity: I would like to understand why people use HF Networks like VKS737 or VKE or HFOz etc..

I do not see any advantage in the use of these networks,
am I missing something ?

The commercial equipment required is expensive and not very flexible
Frequencies are limited
Power is very limited as well as digital communication
No weather or news broadcast unless you request it
Yearly fees are higher than ham license
and more

Is it the ham license which puts people off ? or what is it ?

thanks
