There were actually a couple of advantages. You had continuously-variable speed control and if the wipers were frozen to the windshield on a cold day there's no electric motor to burn out. Still, the performance of these things wasn't really all that good in real-world use especially once a little wear started to set in. I've driven quite a few AMC vehicles where the wipers would just stop completely when you hit the gas.
