Contractors are appealing because they don't have the same legal liabilities or expectations as an employee. You don't have to worry about PTO, 401k, healthcare, sick days, overworking, family leave, mandatory breaks, respecting any unionization attempts, etc. You don't have to worry about withholding their wages for things like taxes, social security, etc.

When the need for their talents is gone, you just cut them loose. (Likewise if the company hits a budget crunch as well.)
