The advantage is unix systems are virtually always setup correctly - your home drive will be persistent storage on a network share somewhere. Contrast to windows where your "Documents" folder might be getting backed up via one drive or roaming profile, or it might just be local disk on that machine. In my experience for a corporate windows environment its best to map a H: drive to a network home drive share and get users to always save in there - if its not mapped it means you are probably on misconfigured host.
