That's the same question I always asked (myself) about VX or WN when I lived in the Bay Area. And that was always the reason why I booked them, which I rarely did. When the flight was cheaper *and* it was a short flight to SoCal or Vegas and I didn't particularly need elite benefits and E+ seating and the earned status miles were not needed.
