The only possible advantage I can think of is that when you start the car up again after having reverse parked, it'll be more obvious what way the wheels are currently pointing, so you can straighten up. But that's such a trivial problem.

A much easier to manouver car, because you can get true variable speed ratio steering.
It's explained really well here:

Tbh I still think it's a bit of a silly idea. But it's not completely without its merits(the one done by Tesla was though - that was completely entirely pointless).
I'm skeptical but I can see the potential benefits of drive-by-wire, definitely. The yoke, nope (except maybe for racing drivers).
With this it literally changes how much your wheel turns for the same amount of steering wheel/yoke movement. So at high speeds turning the yoke by 90 degrees will turn the wheels maybe 10 degrees so you don't kill yourself, but at low speeds the exact same movement will move the wheels 45 degrees so the car is a lot more manoeuvrable.
(I assume you don't mean removing the whole steering column. That's definitely a big deal, but it's independent of the shape of the steering control)
