Safety. It’s light, and doesn’t store a lot of elastic energy, so when it does fail it doesn’t whip. That is a feature for winch lines and webbing bits for climbing.
Usually with these new fibers, the applications are lightness, since for applications without weight sensitivity steel is pretty awesome.
