Better ergonomics, no need to drain phone battery or get interrupted with notifications, bigger screen at a native aspect ratio, dual sense haptics. Also, easier pick up and play with no need to hook up your phone and put it in the controller. That last one may seem minor but when you only get 5-10 spurts to game in between family/motherly/fatherly duties, it matters. Considering the backbone is $100, I place a value of $100 more for those upgrades. It’s fine if others don’t, but that’s my reasoning on why I bought it and why I like it.
