There has been much discussion in the past, search if you want to read more, but the short answer is...

A dyno is a controlled environment where different things can be reliably reproduced, and worked on. They do however lack air flow consistent with the speeds being simulated which can be an issue.

Road tuning is not as controlled or reproducible and speeds required may be in excess of the legal limits, but obviously does not have the airflow issue.
