Mostly ease of management. I have a server on which I run multiple applications. If I don't need something anymore, I can just purge the container. The directories used by that container are clearly listed in my docker-compose file so I never have to wonder whether I purged everything that is now unnecessary.

It also makes it very easy to deploy a new service.
