The cloth would adapt to blending between multiple skeletons poses better, the speed of the animation could be changed with ease - you can't just slow down the baked cloth animation cause then you're attenuating the effect of gravity and other forces in the baked animation - and have outside forces interact with the cloth. Let’s also not forget you can't bake dynamically ripping the cloth and attaching objects to it (they didn't show it in the video, but that's just a generic argument for realtime cloth simulation). And you would have a helluva time baking animation data for dynamics such as ragdoll physics. gopu > Seems like you would have more freedom if it was calculated through simulations.
