Like @scottalanmiller said, just not having to manage a VPN connection or licensing, although this seems like it'd be a far more expensive option...
Oh yes, and it locks you in to a single vendor.

If you're working from home I suppose this could make sense.

Can you do MPLS with multiple ISPs? What happens if a site you have or are creating doesn't have access to the ISP you generally use? Can it still work?

Oh, so if you're using AT&T for 9 sites and your 10th site only has access to Verizon or TWC, you're screwed out of that site getting MPLS?

Well, in the T1 days, you still could due to the regulations on it. AT&T could order a Verizon T1 and lay their network on it. This was really a very standard practice back in the day.
