They might introduce the protagonist to new ideas and ways of life that are completely different from what they knew in the hero party. And there could be a character from the hero party's past who has a connection to the protagonist's decision to quit, and their backstory could be really fascinating.

Also, any side characters who were friends with the protagonist in the hero party but now have to deal with the new situation could be quite engaging. They might be torn between loyalty to the party and friendship with the protagonist.
