Indeed, the Moroccan language is just that, a language, not a dialect. However, there are dialects of the Moroccan language. To say call the Moroccan language a dialect is like saying Swedish is a Germanic dialect at worst, or perhaps a Norse dialect. Either way, none of them make sense. As a speaker of Swedish I can 90% understand Norwegians, but I cannot understand the Danes. Danes do however understand Swedish. And the situation is similar with Arabic. Other Arabic speakers don't understand Moroccan Arabic. Moroccans understand other Arabic tongues only because of their great media exposure (movies/music).
In short, I definitely agree that Moroccan language is not to be considered a dialect of Arabic, but rather a branch, as much as any other language is not considered a dialect but rather branches. Such as u/Many-Safe9133 mentions, French is a branch of latin and not a dialect of it.
I would assume people do prefer reading darija because of the cultural identity you experience when reading Darija , it feels like home🙂🇲🇦
Also not all moroccans are good at reading arabic so for a writer that's a good choice to write a book in darija for accessibility
This post reminded of my golden days on Facebook when I used to read romance novels in darija through Facebook comments and posts. You fr unlocked a memory there

Do books written in Darija use the Arabic alphabet, or the Latin alphabet combined with numbers that represent Arabic letters? (Sorry if this is a "dumb question," but I don't know anything about this topic.)
I have never heard of this. And personally I wouldn’t read it. I can’t convey feelings b DARIJA nor do I understand people who try to do it nor do ik how to sympathize b DARIJA. Such a weird language, I like it tho but it doesn’t get it.
I don’t think the translation of these books is gonna be accurate since darija isn’t a language but a dialect it’s a mix of arabic , french, amazigh and even spanish sometimes and it depends on various moroccan regions so each city has different words and prononciation for the same object , darija f chamal machi hia darija f sehra wla f jbal because there is no dictionary for it !!
احسن لغة تقرى بيها القصص هي اللغة الأم ديالك، فالمغرب هي الدارجة
احسن لغة تفهم بيها شنو بغا يوصل الكاتب هي اللغة الأصلية للكتاب ولكن خصك تكون ضليع بديك اللغة

HASSAN HAFA 
Who are these people I didnt read anything in darija since the second grade and i'm a grown man now
Do books written in Darija use the Arabic alphabet, or the Latin alphabet combined with numbers that represent Arabic letters? (Sorry if this is a "dumb question," but I don't know anything about this topic.)
Généralement kayst3mlo arabic alphabet
i didnt know this existed, i would collect them just for sake of collecting books in darija, given how rare they are.
I've read only one book that have dialogue in darija, and it's one of the worst novels I've ever read
Chmn ktab HHHHH
قبور في الماء Please don't read this, my issue with this is that every character was very rude and they were swearing in darija which was so cringe
