Non roofer here

Is slate picked for any reason over asphalt shingles or is it just an aesthetic thing?

It lasts forever with regular maintenance. I moved into a house with a slate roof that’s 96 years old. We just have a roofer come out and replace a few cracked tiles every year. Not necessarily any cheaper but the cost is spread out and it seems less wasteful.
