- if you need to retrieve things often

- if you need more than one box. will you still have a single box 10 years from now or will it be 2? good luck trying to retrieve something in 20 years when you have even more boxes

- it only takes 1 fire or flood to destroy all of your documents. once they are digital you can easily make copies and store them in a few different locations

tbh making digital copies isnt that complicated compared to throwing something in a box. i just scan everything into a year/month folder and do as you do... worry about finding them later. spending time tagging or naming stuff after theyve been digitised is optional.
