To provide a consistant access interface in a client-server environment.
Managing one interface is usually easier than managing several (e.g.
postgres, html, ftp, ...) to support a single app.

I would expect the performance of LOs to be somewhat worse than direct
file system access to the same data, for a variety of reasons. But for
many applications that performance difference is not a critical issue.
