It evenly distributes the force between both frame rails, its quick and easy to attach a strap to. Second to protect my bumper. I could careless if I drag the tow hitch across rocks on the trail, I'd rather not snag my bumper on large rocks. I've seen trailer hitches get caught on rocks as wide as the truck. If it wouldn't have been for the trailer hitch them bumper would have been damaged.
IMO, a trailer hitch is not only a tow point but protection for the bumper.

I agree, the hitch is as strong or stronger than any tow hook and the weight will always be evenly distributed.
