The last thing I want is to be talking on the phone to my wife when I'm out enjoying the peace and quiet of being away from her!

Had a non marine unit on my old street glide. Never had a problem.

Streaming audio, Pandora and Sirius/XM (with the phone app) would be the biggest reasons. I am sure there are some who use it for calls too.

One reason for me. Wireless connection for Pandora and similar from phone to deck. No wires, no thumb drives, no CD's...etc.

I have simplified further now and ditched the handlebar mount. I start Pandora or whatever on my phone as I walk to my bike and just keep the phone in my vest pocket.

My alpine isn't marine and had it accidentally rained on when I forgot to put the cover on. Ironically, I had a Sony marine that quit work after being in the rain. You will still need a cover for the marine radio if it rains.
