Another potential benefit is speed. While not universal, many users report that updates install faster when installed via Terminal, both in terms of the initial installation as well as the post-restart portion as the Mac reboots.

Longtime Mac users may recognize this limitation is the same as the original Mac Software Update utility. This utility, which is how Apple delivered system and first party updates to users prior to the launch of the Mac App Store, did not support third party applications.
Since the softwareupdate UNIX command also served as the basis of the original Software Update utility, this limitation makes sense.
