The gain is that voters can thus express which there most important preferences are. But yes, it leads to more strategizing I guess. If you want to avoid the approval information, you can modify DMC to use not the approval scores but the first-place-scores. However, this will no longer be clone-proof unless clones are assumed to be ranked equal on all ballots. Still, it might well make a good method, let's see...
