Everyone pretty much touched on the big benefits.... accessibility, drainage and soil quaility.
You might also add to the list: warmer soil earlier in the spring, better & easier control of weeds and insects.

You can control your soil - for example, if your soil is too sandy, or heavy clay, raised beds would allow you to import better soil.

Look up square foot gardening. You can fill them with compost and never have to walk on them or dig them - just top up with more good stuff as you need it.

you get better drainage than if you put the vegetable seeds in flat ground.

Just good drainage and good accessibility if you have trouble getting to your knees.
