PSCs and LSCs replace non-essential military personnel at (relative) dumping prices, that's all there is to it - saving money. In most cases they work in areas that have always fielded civilian employees to a large degree, and in most cases they have both public and private/corporate customers as well, operating in both military and civilian environments. PSCs, depending on theater, might blur the line to mercenaries somewhat.
Depending on what area we're talking about, a lot of LSCs in a variety of nations are actually state-owned btw, shafting off former government civilian employees into outsourced companies where they typically work for less money and less employee protection.
