Personally i think a lot of people do threads because it's easier to write. Also you can take days or weeks of writing threads in public, updating them with new information, without appearing to do "stealth" edits, or adding "Update <date>:" to each added section.
For readers twitter threads are pretty crap tho, that's why I really like to use thread reader app.
