It's a very good question actually. A few points and I hope this helps.
-Consistency across platforms (e.g. Linux) and across versions of Mac OS X
-Deployability and upgradability via DirectManage Express
-Integration w/ third party solutions such as PuTTY etc.
-Support for multi-Domain, multi-Forest (one way and two way trusts)
-Computer account password periodic updates just like windows to prevent the computer from looking like a stale account.
-Upgradability to additional capabilities such as group policy and smart-card support on the Mac platform
(disclosure: I work for Centrify)
