Not having to deal with ICE/TURN/STUN. Being able to develop P2P applications without having to build out that infrastructure (anyone remember Skype's "supernodes"?).

Trivially easy do direct connections between devices (if desired), no issues when creating VPNs between networks using private ranges.

What would be the disadvantage?
