I feel it gives the tracks more context, especially as for many artists an album isn't just an unordered set of independent tracks but a carefully designed listing experience.
i prefer a curated musical experience. so live music, playlists i made or that were shared with me, and albums. i don't use any streaming services either.
Edited to add some background:

That said, I still like my playlists as well. ;)
