Well, one major reason: it has been required by code in garage areas for over
20 years. Replace it with a new GFCI. If the old one was a 'pain in the ass',
it was either because it is faulty, or it is just doing its job and dropping
off the power due to a ground fault.

I had neighbors who took their 110V smoke detector in for repairs
because it kept going off. While they didn't have it, the fire
started, in the stove clock. It has been sending out tiny bits of
"smoke", products of combustion, for weeks, and they thought they were
all false alarms.
