A couple of reasons.
First, having a hard drive port is something I could use for other stuff anyway.
Primarily, because I never leave my external drive permanently connected to my computer. I feel safer about keeping junk off of it this way. I also recently had a hardware issue that corrupted all the files on my computers hard drive. I had to wipe the whole thing and re-install everything.
I use the external drive mainly to back up everything on my computers and save important stuff, like tax info. I don't want to take any chances on losing any of this stuff or have anyone else figure out how to get access to this info.

In that case I would suggest that an external enclosure will be less expensive, and provide better physical protection that a docking station.
Newegg has a good selection of these, you can view the here. They start out at about fifteen dollars plus shipping. Actually I just saw one there for fifteen dollars including shipping.

I wouldn't swear to this, but it is about the right size for a USB port.

Well, that's what I said it was to begin with. It's the end that the smaller side of the USB cable plugs into.
