Compared to this what is the advantage of binary form? I thought log files being text was a no brainer.

Storage efficiency, faster queries, more metadata, unified format, etc. If your host breaks, you can download the journals and open then elsewhere. Also, there is nothing stopping you from configuring it to output to a file.

Open them elsewhere is also true for text files I guess.
