Question about leaves - raking vs. mowing / mulching


I've read that it's better to run over leaves with mower, chopping them up and spreading them around almost as a mulch. I did that over the weekend, and my yard is pretty much leaf-free, in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to rake. If this is true, why would anyone rake? I can run my mower at the highest setting 2x per week, and it's still much easier and less time-consuming than it would be to rake.
