Why are people searching for a repack of a relatively cheap game (usually $7.99 on Steam)?

Who uses this?

Gamers with monthly bandwidth caps.
Users on slow rural internet connections.
Players who want a portable version to put on a USB drive for school or work computers (where IT has blocked Steam).

The Trade-off: Because the files are Ultra-compressed using FreeArc and LZMA2, installation takes much longer than a standard setup. On a dual-core CPU, the repack might take 15 minutes to unpack a 10-minute game.
