It’s got a controller semi-friendly interface, so it’s better for the Steam Deck, and it isn’t so much running compatibility scripts but just leveraging APIs inherent to each storefront to download and install the same way that GOG Galaxy does, more or less. It’s got achievement compatibility and beta cloud save support.

It actually works? I’ve always had issues with getting anything to work in Lutris.

As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.
Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.
Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

League of legends used to work well but yeah I mostly never bother with lutris.
It was good in the past back when every game needed a different configuration of wine but nowadays proton-GE works out of the box on most games.

Because you don’t actually have to install the shitty launchers
