Few reasons:

1. Rook puts you into a match half-way through so you have quicker runs to build your vault.
2. solos only will put you in with other solos, but Rook goes in with trios. If you are being a scavenger, more players means more bodies to find and pick over.
3. lower risk. The rook is set up for loot collection with a free backpack and depending on faction progress, claymore stacks, shields, shotguns, etc. everything you get cost you nothing. The free faction kits are not as good and limit how much you can bring out in addition to longer matches means much less efficient looting.
4. You are underestimating the value of the robot camo. It means you can use the guarded exfil point with basically a group of armed guards. Easier exfil means more likely to get the loot out.
