Baskets look great, but they also are SO functional.
One of the biggest benefits of using a basket to carry things is that it's sturdy, attractive, and reusable. Which is important to the environment. Before plastic baggies people used to do their marketing with a large basket.
Baskets put up with a lot of abuse especially when made of sturdy materials, not just wicker, wicker isn't as strong. Prior the widespread use of cardboard boxes baskets were used to ship and transport things.
Baskets can be very attracting, much more than a cardboard box, paper or plastic bags. You can get fabric liners to match your outfit or decor.
They can also be great for keeping what you are carrying private. You can use a lid (some even fasten securely) or you can get a liner that covers the contents. You can also throw a dishtowel or other fabric on top.

1st - dead cats hate being carried in anything else, they do.
2nd - they have wider bases than say, a jug, and therefore fit on the natives heads easier.
Last - how else would you get your groceries to that hot check out clerk. if you didn't have the basket, you would like a fool trying to flirt and you couldn't even see over all the crap in your hands. The Herp-B-Gone would be all up front because it's easier to carry in your hands and with the basket you can stick it in the bottom and then casually mix it in with other products on the belt. How embarrassing

You can clearly see what's inside.
Baskets carry less so you spend less $$.
Having almost no weight themselves, you only have to haul the weight of what you've picked up.
