For me, it’s just _much_ easier to write /and read/ than a long row of 
chords with <>.
Well, and the difference is that I’d have expected

\new Voice << { c''^~ c'' } { a'_~ a' } >>

to be exactly equivalent to

\new Voice { <c''^~ a'_~> <c'' a'> }

– which, as David explained, it is not, unfortunately.
