Sublime Merge is a standalone app that isn't really all that integrated with Sublime Text, despite the name and coming from the same company. In other words, using Sublime Merge with VSCode is roughly the same as using it with Sublime Text. It's simply a great git client.

I'd guess the biggest reason to use Sublime Merge over a VSCode extension is that it's a small, very fast, native app. I've used it before when wanting to, e.g., search my git history for a change I'd made (IIRC a function name I remembered but which was no longer in the codebase). It's just snappier in general than VSCode. But I use command line git rather than any VSCode integration, so for the most part that serves me well enough anyway.
