Less parts in the BOM for manufacturing.

Tighter tolerancing, do not have to account for variation is gasket thickness and "squishiness".

More consistent torque, and better torque retention for fasteners between parts do to gasket squishiness.

Less chance of shifting between surfaces since there is no gap created by a gasket.
