Over manual install - snap/flatpak is typically way faster and easier to install and configure. Installing Nextcloud manually if you’re not familiar with the process is an hour or more of setting up all the essential and optional dependencies. It’s a few seconds of snap install nextcloud.

Over distro repos - no dependency version hell.

I don’t really love snap/flatpak (too much “magic”, hard to tweak installs) but I see why they get used.
