Is there any reason why so many dApps have their own token?

I understand that tokens are an easy way for dApp developers to generate money for the development of their app, marketing, etc. But other than that, is there any reason utility-wise, that so many dApps have their token? Wouldn’t their services work just as well if they simply used the original currency of the blockchain they are built on?

I think that’s partly true. But there’s another reason. Dapps often need to make changes and ideally it shouldn’t just be up to the original developers to make these decisions arbitrarily. A governance token can ensure that decisions are made trustlessly by people who are actually invested in the protocol.
