Another big benefit of using Electrum server is authenticated connection.
Bitcoin Core, otoh, was never designed to be a backend. Connecting to bitcoind directly uses RPC, which is not secure.
I think OP is asking about his own local node not a random remote node.
Or you are not trusting yourself?

OP didn't say if it was a local or remote setup.
If it's a local setup, your wallet can only be operational while staying within the LAN. Some people might be fine with not having your wallet accessible on-the-go. Most users will probably find that too limiting, though.
