You don't have to futz around with NAT and figuring out how to do connect P2P:

You have your home router firewall, you punch a hole in it (UPnP, PCP) on an as-needed basis, do your P2P thing. When you're done, the firewall hole is closed.
No magic/fancy protocols trying to figure out what your "real" address is.
Instead of having to chat or talk your some provider's central server, the software on your device can talk directly to the software on the other person's.
