Hi, co-lead of the CFF project here.

One advantage I see is semantics, and that it's single-purpose. Downstream clients (archives, indexers, GitHub citation feature, etc.) know exactly what they're dealing with (citation information for software or datasets). Also has better support for software-related fields than BibTeX for example (@software being an alias for @misc).
