if you continuously use a card reader
1.) the flimsy plastic doors/hinges on your camera can wear
2.) you can lose the card
3.) you can bend or break the card or connections
4.) you can smudge the connections.
5.) you can forget to put the card back in the camera and not have it when you need it.
6.) the dog could eat it.
7.) just another gadget (card reader) to buy, wire/connect, dust off, break, get outdated, need to upgrade later when the next card format is not handled, etc.
