The main benefit is that you automatically get free frontend code splitting. The assets of your block will only get loaded on the page if the block is actually used on the page. Which especially for CSS was very hard to do previously in the WordPress context. https://gutenberg.10up.com/reference/Themes/styles#block-specific-styles |
