Creating a subclass of an existing class allows you to inherit all the methods and attributes of the parent class and override or add new functionality as needed. Copying the code from the existing class to a new file would require you to go through and delete all the methods that don't need to change, whereas creating a subclass allows you to specifically override or add new methods without affecting the existing code.
