The benefit is that i do not have to compile the app myself when i want to run it on my phone without using the google play store but instead can use the release tab. If it is available in F-Droid i can just use the F-Droid Appstore. I do not care about the Version number at all (besides a possible one displayed within the app). When i install it from the github release page or the F-Droid Appstore i will not care about the google play store version.
