A big one for me is that it generates a nice interactive UI with the ability to zoom and reorganise tables rather than a static image. I find with sufficiently complex projects it becomes a real pain to navigate a exported image.

Schema Spy generates graphviz files. You could render those in the browser.
Or use a tool that already does the rendering, with zoom and pan: https://visualdb.com
Or, generate an SVG from the dot file and pan and zoom like any other SVG file in the browser.
Then you won't be able to click on a table to view details in a popup.
