The main benefit is the long-term support. If you buy a volume (or can find a vendor willing to sell you a single) license for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, you have security updates until 2032. There’s nuance to it, and some programs might not support Windows 10 for the full length of that extended support period, but for the last holdouts it’s better than nothing.

True, but I assume most people here wouldn’t need to be on an Enterprise version of Windows, unless it’s for work.
