One thing is that it's open source, not proprietary. You can run it on your own servers, modify it, etc, for free.
Another thing is it's Node, and can be used as a plug-in to your express app. This can make it easier to customize and extend over time. Eg; have parts of your schema be postgraphile and parts be custom JS.
