Because (at least for the UK) they have far lower resolution maps than google earth does. Good enough reason for me, as well as the slow GUI NASA's version has

NASA is only good for USA and completely sucks for the rest of the world. Altho NASA is ofcourse American funded, it would be to bad if there actually was an American that realized or cared that there is more to the world.
