They are easy to set up (especially on iOS)

iOS is moving away from custom URL schemes and towards universal links: https://developer.apple.com/ios/universal-links/

The main difference is that a URL scheme only works if the app is installed. A universal link, being a regular link to a web page, works regardless of whether or not the app is installed. This leads to a much better user experience.
