The performance is a big category… more stopping power, doesn’t fade as quickly, less unsprung weight, etc.
In terms of maintenance cost, if exclusively for street use you probably never need to replace them whereas steel brakes will need to. So actually savings on maintenance somewhat offsets its initial premium cost.
If you don’t care about the looks, low dust, and performance… and you won’t keep your car for lifetime then no point to spec it.
