I have seen Carborundum DL "kits" (four resistors, clip bars to hold
them) at fests for $50 or less.
I purchased a used broadcast tx DL kit of four or five resistors last
year for $20. Not everyone has $200 to spend on a dummy load.
Also, you actually build something. For some people a DL is a nice
starter project.
