They just standardize the formatting of the document so that everyone is doing it the same way. Not unlike saying "we all use Microsoft Word" in order to make sure everyone can open the file. It's just a method of standardization.
The biggest advantage to APA is that most academic journals require your submission be in APA format. I find it easier than MLA or Turabian, but I'm accustomed to APA.
