I guess it’s pretty similar, it’s just pub/priv key verification in the end. Imo the benefit would be that on top of just proving you’re you (logging in), you can perform many other actions.

Sometimes I’m browsing and end up on some newspaper paywall which asks me for credit card and yearly subscriptions. Not doing that. But if I were to click a button and get a message to sign saying “Spend 2 cents to view this article?”, and see the article 2 seconds later, I would go ahead and do it.
