If there's no LVM, most point-and-click tools allow for resizing a partition and a contained filesystem in a fairly simple process. (Having a LUKS encrypted volume might complicate that, but if the encryption is on the filesystem level, that could also be avoided.)
People who dual-boot might also need to resize their partitions if their needs regarding the operating systems change, or if they made a mistake in their original allocations.
That's probably not enough of a reason to make a major switch, but it could be one task that could be simplified.
