It is very common on VHF to switch to CW to call a guy who is transmitting on SSB, most often after calling him on SSB doesn't get through. CW in SSB makes it unnecessary to switch modes to do so.

If both ends of the QSO are using SSB then, as I understand it, there is no relative frequency offset between them. But there would be for any other station using CW mode for CW. Do I have that right? If so, what’s the advantage of using SSB mode for CW operations? Is it that using SSB allows programmed keying from a computer generated audio tone? Wouldn’t something like a Winkeyer and N1MM allow the same operation in CW mode itself?
