There is a bunch of cameras that do NOT export mass storage. A bunch of dSLRs are in that category as well.
Also there is a big bonus of PTP - you can request the camera to get all thumbnails of all photos on the camera and get it in a few seconds. Then you can select which exactly photos do you want to download from the camera.

Where's the benefit? By the time a human looks at the thumbnails and decides what they want, they likely could have uploaded everything, don't you think?

Some visual confirmation of what you are indeed downloading is nice, at least.
