Generally, to have a better overall visibility.

We use a mix of aiojobs (running inside the applications), cron jobs scheduled using nomad and can’t wait to migrate everything to airflow.

One benefit of Airflow over cron for even simple use cases like that is the
ability to see run history success or failure in the dashboard.

Another, for example, is to handle the case where if a cron job gets behind
schedule, you might not want it to run twice when it catches.  Airflow
supports config to make cases like that easy to handle and explicit.
