I would say there is one little advantage on legacy addresses. You can easily verify a signed message from a legacy address using any Software.
Honestly, I think this is a horrible reason to choose legacy over segwit addresses. It's also unlikely that the core dev team will implement a method for signing and encrypting messages with Taproot addresses, but that won't prevent me from using Taproot exclusively as soon as I can.
I recommend familiarizing yourself with GnuPG for signing and encrypting messages, it's a far more practical tool for this use case.

Electrum will also allow to create 24 word seed phrases with the same command just by changing the
nbits field:
make_seed(256,"","segwit")
