Lots of reasons. Security & compliancy (HIPAA) come to mind. With a VPN, you know (and have control) who is on the network.

I've used LogMeIn Free for years to connect to all my own business clients, but it's one thing to use it myself and small businesses, another to recommend it's use to a larger company with resources for VPN, etc. My kneejerk reaction is "no", but damned if I can come up with a viable excuse for that opinion.
