Primarily through experience. Happy to be shown otherwise. Middleware usually takes a bit more configuration than that.

We can quibble over whether it's the "only" win, but even so, it's a very, very big win. It's a single point of failure that handles a lot of features you'd have to replicate with various packages that lack the kind of support, maturity and community that NGINX has.
