Easier map switching? Ability to pull codes? The gauge functionality? Possibly better or cheaper tuning since AP is tons easier to tune?

There's a reason Cobb is still selling tons of APs even though open source tuning is a reality. I'm not sure I'd bother with an AP myself, but I'm a "computer guy". Lots of people don't want use a laptop and non-trivial unsupported free software to keep their car running. I guess it's kinda like asking "why do you drive a new Camry, don't you know you could buy a 90's Lexus and do a motor swap and have a faster car that's just as nice for way cheaper?"
