Electricity\heat\battery scale. A 1U box can run several hundred GPON customers while consuming probably less than 75 watts. Can't do that with Active E.

Each home needs a drop. So you have to connect the drop to either a splitter or an SFP. With AE you will have to power the switch but then you have no shared bandwidth, it has market cache vs shared bandwidth old fashioned GPON etc...

If a new 30-house subdivision appears in a field a few miles from your headend, and you have a spare 10 strands going out there, you only need to use 2-3 strands instead of running new 48-strand cable the whole way.

It is brain dead simple to configure. Since it “Just Works” there isn’t a lot to configure. The ONU (cpe) can run in bridge or router mode. I’m not sure what the routing/NAT speeds are capable of but it will do 1G in bridge mode without breaking a sweat.
