The reasons why are different for everyone. Some common reasons to why someone go with an ls swap.... it’s the cool thing to do, makes for a fun project, the ls series is a modern engine and being more fuel efficient, starts on the first crank, don’t have to pump the carb before you start, they run just as good in 110 degrees as they do in -20 degrees no carb tuning issues, and they seem to never die... all goes with the modern amenities that we are used to now days.

I haven’t looked in a while so maybe they gone down but specifally remember if you wanted to buy aluminum heads for your SBC you were looking at dropping $1,000 for “cheap” ones. VS an LS comes with them standard.

Some people are able buy a wrecked vehicle, take what they need for the ls swap, do all of the work themselves and part the rest out and get the whole swap for free more or less. Others spend upwards of $10,000. Just depends on your taste and abilities.

Not slamming anyone either way, but those are some reasons why.
