what's the benefit to this over a CD, which have similar yields (and can be locked in for longer terms)? Or a savings account event which several now offer 5% rates

If you live in a state with income taxes, there's no State-level income tax on Treasury Bonds.

There's also far more liquidity. You can easily transfer the Treasury Bonds around and sell them (of course, if the %yield changes, you could sell them for more... or less... than you originally paid).
