There is no benefit. No electrician I've ever met or heard of uses a pair or scissors to cut wire, that's what linesman pliers are for, or diagonal cutters, or even wire strippers.

Scissors aren't good for cutting house wire but they are better than Klein's or diagonals for cutting control wire, cat 6 data cable, and string. Whenever the electricians in my company get slow and they come help us pull the low voltage stuff they usually show up with scissors after a few days. I can understand not wanting to carry extra tools but snips definitely have a benefit in many situations.
