Why is it best to use the SharePoint Migration tool for personal documents?

If you have a deep folder structure, you cannot just drop the folders into OneDrive. (sync client) and the client will not sync some files, very inconvenient.
For example, if you have several computers and want to migrate specific data or just a lot of data.
You use your own computer and do not have a work computer or do not want to use the OneDrive client.
