A few good reasons to trailer, not ever having to worry if 4" of rain falls, never having to worry about bottom paint, being able to pick a launch based on bite or wind, having your boat in your driveway to work on things as needed, less threat of thieves getting on board and a few more for sure. You guys with slips certainly have your list of advantages, but I do like having options on where to launch and fish, I'd consider that one a biggey.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Too much of a PIA to launch everytime I go out. I fish everyday that I am home. With my travel for work, maintaining 15 acres and the house and building. I want to be able to drive to the boat, turn the key and go.
I agree you can travel around but I am mainly a Bay fisherman so I can get from Prov to Newport, Brenton Reef, Jamestown in 15 to 20 minutes. I have 2 batteries, 2 bilge pumps so I don't worry. Bottom paint is an hour as my winterizing guy power washes the hull. It just works for me. I could never envision trailering.
