I'll admit there's a significant "because I can" factor :) There are some advantages to using LinuxSampler, though -- it uses less RAM for large sounds (since it streams data from disk), and it's easy to create and recall instrument setups for a complete track. If you're already using LinuxSampler for one instrument on your track, it's easier to load more instruments in to that than to fire up Qsynth/FluidSynth as well. I think SFZ has limitations when it comes to handling multiple sounds within a single file, though, so it's no substitute for SF2 and FluidSynth when it comes to handling GM sets.
