what can’t I get in the Play Store or the App Store that I actually want?
For me, it’s an independence from Google thing and a privacy thing. I am logged in to the Play Store on my phone, but I try to get whatever I can from F-Droid. On other devices like my TV, tablet and e-reader, I’m not even logged in and use F-Droid and the Aurora Store instead. Not having to rely on Google is great.
Honestly what is the argument for staying?
There are still Android phones with headphone jacks

Uh.
For stuff like banking apps. It’s not perfect, I know
Get Hermit and use the bank website
Not a bad suggestion, but I’m not sure that’d work. Online payments are tightly integrated with the banks apps here. I can try it though
What about aurora?
