One benefit I've seen is being able to give an external third-party (who also builds in .NET) the DLL for the compiled WCF contract.
Easy Peasy for them!
Until...you change the API...until...well...anything changes...and then they need you to hold their hands because something didn't work...
Sorry, that's not a benefit...😋
Well documented REST APIs, for example, are just so much simpler, straightforward, and don't restrict the consumer's choice of tech at all.
So, I dunno why anyone would want to use WCF 🤷♂️
