It's a mix of easier workflow especially for contributors and less
responsibility/noise in case of bugs.

If there is a bug in an overlay, you rather expect people to come up

Herds relying heavily on overlays and their portage packages being far
behind their overlay is just a prove that the herd is dying and needs
assistance. That goes especially for science.
