To save myself the hassle of having to rebuild the electron app every once in a while? I’d rather not open my browser, go to their website and log in with 2fa every time I want to read an email.
The main benefit is since it is locally installed, it is harder for proton’s server to access your encrypted data by serving you malicious JS. A malicious desktop app/update could be served too, but that may be trickier.
