Our take

Choose it for fast rough cuts and stream-level changes.

Direct stream copying can avoid another generation of video encoding and simplify extracting useful sections.

Keep in mind: Lossless cut starts are constrained by keyframes, so exact requested boundaries may shift earlier. Formats, proprietary tracks and metadata preservation vary.
