It's the only benchmark I know of with a well-behaved scale. Benchmarks with for example a score from 0-100% get saturated quite quickly, and further improvements on the metric are literally impossible. And even excluding saturation, they just behave very oddly at the extremes. To use them to show long term exponential growth you need to chain together benchmarks, which is hard to make look credible.
