The bonus, in my opinion, is changes are easier.
Is it necessary? Of course not.

This is hard to believe.
Or do you mean, when adding or removing a device they considered in
advance when wiring this 'box ?
What if you want to make a mod they did not think of ?
I'd be wary of any connection 'box I don't know what the innards are
made of if all it does is just connect things. How do you troubleshoot ?

Is it really DIY if one orders all the boxes and pre-made wire bundles,
and just bolts the boxes in place and plugs factory made connectors ?
I personnally prefer the actual DIY way, drawing architecture and
systems schematics and fabricating my own cables and connectors.
Lighter, cheaper and really tailor-made.
But there are many ways to skin a cat ;-)

The "innards" are just traces on a board. I can't imagine having to troubleshoot
it, but if you did, it would be pretty easy.

In the event you have something outside of the typical device, you just modify
the configuration plug.

Is it really DIY if you buy a radio as opposed to building one yourself?
Is it really DIY if you buy an engine as opposed to building one yourself?
I could go on...

You are certainly allowed to do that.
Personally, I like being able to choose which tasks of the build I do myself and
which ones I purchase off the shelf.
