The main benefit of it is it doesn't wear out unlike USB ports

Ive had way too many phones fail conveniently after 18-24 months (just in time for an expensive 'upgrade'!) because the port has become loose/blocked/whatever, so its a useful backup to have.

I have been using USB-C phones since 2016 and none of the ports failed on me as of yet.
