I've wondered this too. I've seen someone make a COVID data library but I thought about how much more difficult it would be to learn the library instead of just importing and manipulating the data.
My best thought is that it saves time to import, it saves visual lines which may make it easier to understand what is code ripe for modification and code that shouldn't be changed.
