The biggest argument for vertical farms is that you'd be able to bring high-quality year around produce to more places. We do have most produce year around, but the quality of it varies wildly depending on the time of year. Most produce shipped from California and Mexico during growing off seasons is quite subpar.
But this is an argument for quality, of which people would have to be willing to pay a premium for. I could see high-end restaurants and others wiling to pay for this.
Greenhouses already extend the growing season. This would ideally be able to do that further.
