What would make someone want to get the Steam version instead of a Direct Download version?

I ask because I'm going to pre-order the game (like i have since OOTP12) but I've always just done the download to my laptop. It runs just fine on it, so I don't see why I would want to go the stream route.

Can someone explain to a Steam Newb
If you like to have all of your PC games in one spot, Steam is good for that. Steam also has "achievements" and a big social side to it. They also have the ability to have Cloud saves, meaning you can play on one computer and download your save from another. Sadly, I don't think OOTP will have that functionality. Also, with Steam, you only need that one Steam license to play on multiple computers.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.
