To remove considerable and pointless complexity. Springs don't break. Computers, compressors, sensors, and air bags do (very regularly) and if you do this yourself, the cost is less than replacing some of the SLS components.
Ride quality is better unless you're towing a large trailer. Since I've seen a total of 0 people towing a boat with an X5 in my life (and I live in FL), I'm guessing that's not an issue for very many people. I towed jetskis a few times with no issues, but not sure what a boat would do.
There are those people that think it's cool or they like to be able to adjust their ride height with the 4 corner air bags. If that's you, keep the bags. If not, the next time you need part of the SLS system replaced, you might consider going with springs.
