Another cool reason: This board uses QMK firmware, which also has built-in support for MIDI, including a sequencer. So, I can have a layer that sends midi cc, notes on/off, program changes, clock, etc.
If I'm working in a DAW such as Pro Tools or Logic, I can do all sorts of things such as program keys to play full chords or chord progressions. Maybe I want to press some key combo to start/stop my external sequencer, or arm/disarm a synth to improvise live with a looper, but not record into the loop.
I'm sure the possibilities are endless, but having the flexibility to tinker and build your own workflow is super neat.
