I haven't actually 'read' sheet music in almost 20 years. I usually just read tab and the timing of the notation...

The benefits are the same as they are for any instrument or for a singer. The player can play from sheet music, can play something not intended specifically for their instrument, can play something they've never heard, can write down their own ideas and compostitions exactly as they are meant to be played, can write something down that players of other instruments can play, can see, musically, how a piece of music "works" - what key it's in, what notes are being played etc.
