Ease of access to funds and buyers. GS takes all the risk of having to find an ultimate end buyer. If that buyer has issues they take it up with GS not you. And GS can give you that money right now in the store so you can buy something else at the store at that moment.

Plus a lot of people trading in games were minors, who don’t exactly have easy legal access to say online means of selling.

So GS is providing a valuable service, not sure what the problem is. If you dont like GS you can always sell and buy games on facebook marketplace and other sites.
