IME, Emacs comes with many input methods that are either seldom
installed on garden-variety systems, or even aren't available.

Another problem that Emacs input methods solve is the lack of suitable
labels on the keyboard keys.

Of course, if your system has an input method that is also provided by
Emacs, and you can easily find the keys, it might be more convenient
to use the system-provided one.
