I dont quite understand the benefit. How does running commands from the Makefile differ from running commands directly on the runner ? What benefit does Makefile brings here ?

You can't run GitHub actions yml workflows locally (officially, there's tools like act).

If you have your CI runner use the same commands as local dev, CI basically becomes an integration test for the dev workflow. This also solves the “broken setup instructions” problem.
