The advantage is obvious: it's the most similar to how it worked back when the controls were fully mechanical.
IIRC, some old planes even had each side mechanically controlling independent halves of the control surfaces, such that the end result is the average of the inputs in case one of the control surfaces (or the cabling connecting to the controls) is jammed.
