I've seen a very similar thread by a reputable user here I think 1miau back when I was still a newbie. Anyways for me actually the best part about using Bitcoin native SegWit addresses really boils down to two things;

First off, it's all about those lower transaction fees. Nobody likes paying more than they have to. With native SegWit, your transactions are just inherently smaller because of how they're built and that means you pay less in fees. It’s a pretty sweet deal especially when the network gets busy.

And then there's the speed. Because these smaller transactions can fit more easily into each Bitcoin block it essentially makes the network more efficient meaning your transactions get confirmed faster which is super helpful when you're waiting for a payment to go through or a trade to clear.
