Manual dexterity.
Ingrain the different scale relationships.....helps when it comes to building chords.
Very very helpful (dare I say necessary?) for improvisation.
You learning the major scale from different positions...ie, starting at different steps of the scale and running up and back? (Getting into the different modes here) Practicing them in all 12 different keys?
This also helps you to memorize the fret board, if you say the name of the acutal notes when you play them. Even just noting the tonic in each scale helps.
