Portability and stability. Same as any canned good.
Hell, some things are better canned because once the process is done, it’s essentially exactly where you want it and stays there. Cranberry jelly, tomatoes, pineapple for deserts (seriously, it can be much better than fresh for some applications), peaches for some uses, even corn can be better at some things because it’s canned. There’s others, but it would get silly.
Now, I tend to agree that this isn’t something I would stock up on, what with fresh being relatively easy to get if I was unable to make my own. But, if I lived by myself? If it was decent, it might be a better choice just because it’s a smaller batch size. Less chance of wasting resource.
I just went sailing for a few days. On the small sailboat, we don’t have a fridge onboard. Stuff like this can be stored in room temperature, so I can definitely see the appeal for it.
