What are some reasons as to why I would want to use this over, say, OSMAnd?

Osmand isn't fully free software. Some parts are under CC Non-Commercial license that forbids derivatives to make life harder for potential forks: https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/blob/master/LICENSE#L39 That's both against the Open Source Definition and Free Software.

Not that big of a deal to me personally, the app is still brilliant and open to the community. But given the community this is posted in I understand the concern and alternatives like Organic Maps are great for that.
