I think the killer feature of time machine is that it's dead simple and intuitive for non technical users to do regular full system backups.
You plug in an external HD, open time machine, flip a big switch that goes from "Time Machine is Off" to "Time Machine is On" and the software does the rest.
Full backups, incremental backups, reminders to connect your drive when it hasn't been backed up for a while, and a visual interface for selecting previous versions to restore to.

In the event of an emergency (IE theft or disaster), the last thing I want to hinder me from accessing my backup is an operating system. Especially a high cost and not as commonly used in public spaces operating system.
