The important thing you’re missing is availability of other,
non-Texinfo documentation sets, in that same browser. Being able to
browse all necessary documentation in one unified browser is big.
Especially if that one browser can be invoked by pressing a single key
in Emacs and will search the right docset(s) depending on your major
mode.
