The problem is they are screwing you over without you knowing about it. Just because you're oblivious doesn't mean it's not happening. Yes, they make it easy to give them money, but the services they provide are horrendous when you know how they compare.
Of course, if you're not qualified to determine how bad they are then you're not going to see much of it. Just like if you don't know anything about cars and your mechanic charges you way too much and for things that you don't need, like "blinker fluid", and you just think "oh this is fine", that doesn't mean that's not an awful mechanic.
