Default Gaskets

I am going to purchase a sheet of neoprene rubber for gaskets from McMaster for a non-cub application, but I got to thinking, why isn't rubber used more for gaskets? Seems like a neoprene rear end gasket for example could be used over and over again rather than having to buy a new every time. Is there a technical reason for not using rubber or is it simply a matter of material cost?
