It's just incredibly convenient to be able to do this without installing third-party dependencies. Further, it also makes testing out new changes very easy. For example, I wanted to try out the overhauled LaTeX preview system that was proposed for Org mode [1]. Rather than having to clone the respective repo and check out the branch manually, this was just a (use-package org :vc (:url "https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/org-mode.git" :branch "dev")) away, which is certainly a win in my book.
