Unless you want to hide something (such as a DLL you weren't suppose to use for free, or an open source DLL that's not under LGPL  )...
There are many good reasons.
You still get the benefits of a DLL, but you now have "copy deployment" of a single file.
You can also update individual components without a re-compile or re-link (this applies to both the native and manages conditions).
I use this quite regularly to provide single file executables. They are very handy in situations such as carring/distributing applications on "tumb-drives".

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
