The benefit is that you can make an app with platform-native views and navigation. If you don't care about this native "feel" than it doesn't matter and capacitor may be a better choice if you just need access to some hardware or push notifications. I have personally drunken the kool-aid to the extend that I'd rather develop a pure web project with react-native-web because I like the choices/constraints it introduces but I don't think that's the case for most people.
