The benefits are there, some of ideas out of my head:

Better networking for administrator, access to /etc/hosts file, not being tied to a single VPN slot.

Using old mobile phone as a simple server, having access to firewall tools and normal remote control.

Installing simplier graphical interface for eldery people.

Lifetime updates for many system components that are not device specific.

Simple backups and cloning with standard tools like rsync or borgbackup instead of Google Drive. Also backing up whole system.

Everyone can add a feature, you can make a difference, no need to mess with Google’s Android developing pipeline.

Making native apps for mobile and desktop at the same time, no need for bloated web-like abstraction layers.

Apps made in Python, C, Rust… No need to fit into Android SDK. And no forcing Android SDK and Android Studio!

Customizations of the interface look via CSS files (Phosh have it to some sort).

Someone give more ideas?
