There can be multiple reasons. Privacy is one reason. But for example if you’re a Free (as in Freedom) Software enthusiast like me you avoid anything proprietary like the plague due to ethical reasons. Or maybe you use an older low-end machine that can’t quite deal with all the bloat these websites try to load, which can especially be beneficial if you’re on a Laptop.
EDIT: Also in the case of NewPipe it has actually more features than YouTube. For example you can just download videos.
