For me it was a way to set different goals for a round in which I wouldn't be able to get online during the night to help my galaxy (and it was a 'serious' galaxy, so I would've felt like I was bailing on a commitment). I helped my galaxy's rank by helping my galmates' planet rank. It was pretty cool, except that the round after people kept asking me for scans. Semi-random strangers even!
I could never scan for an alliance though, for me a big part of it was that I was scanning for friends and my closest allies (galaxy). Alliance scanners get too many random PMs for me to have been able to bother spending time on it.
