There’s nothing like laying your own eyes on something. It’s much more satisfying to look at a blurry live image of Jupiter for example, than a more detailed photographic image.
Also, cost, time, setup time and portability. From something as simple as a smartphone you can follow your way across the entire night sky, with or without binoculars. Lying on a banana lounge recording a meteor shower also has near zero cost, and you don’t have to worry about breaking or transporting anything. Who hasn’t had the bad luck to begin setting up and begin imaging, only to find that your target gets obscured?
Photography is enjoyable for many, but it adds another thing (many things really) that can stuff up your evening.
