Is there any benefit for using this as opposed to a normal standalone host?

If you already using HA on your own hardware probably not. The Green is more aimed as a cheaper off the shelf solution for new users.

... That are not going to use zigbee :(

You can add the SkyConnect module to it for $30 and get Zigbee 3.0 + Matter/Threads.

No, it doesn't seem to come with a Zigbee radio or anything, so it's just a box with HA pre-installed.
