Because it's nice to have options, and as we've seen time and time again, once a certain site/service becomes the de facto for that niche, it's all too easy for them to start squeezing their userbase for more money.
If you think Nexus won't go down that route (they have overall been pretty good to their users so far), there are still other concerns, like imposing restrictive rules, services going down, the site being sold, etc.
Yeah all of that is valid, but it doesn't really justify putting a mod on a platform that's objectively worse for modding and making a large portion of your users have an objectively worse time installing and managing all their mods. I would love for gog to step up and make a modding platform (and specifically mod manager) even close to the quality of nexus' but they haven't yet.
