Approval is also simpler to count. Ranked choice ballots can't even be properly distributed among congressional districts, as a result it takes longer to get results. The only advantages ranked choice have over approval are entirely theoretical. Another advantage approval has is that it trends towards moderation. Approval isn't perfect though (personally I prefer STAR, but it requires ballots to change).
