It has more precision than a datetime and also a greater date range that may reach backwards in time to day one of year one (instead of being constrained to not stray before 1753 when the British started using the Gregorian calendar) and forwards to the day before the start of year ten thousand.
Addendum 1/2/2020: 1753 is when Sweden went to Pope Gregory XIII's calendar, not just Britian.
