Sometimes it's about size (giggity). When going with a brake kit, the OE ones are too big making the smaller head of the aftermarket one better. When you go mid travel you need longer ones, and need to go aftermarket. So it is not always about replacing a part just to replace a part.

The classic rod ends are limited on their articulation due to the design. Also, in my case, I need the smaller overall size of the aftermarket ones to clear the Alcon brakes.
