There's a couple advantages that I can think of.

If you have a big query/long running report, it might take a long time to run,
and if it's synchronous your browser could time out. 

Also, if you do execute a long running report and then try to page through it,
it would likely be slow. Whereas if you're viewing the results, you could page
through them fairly quickly I suspect.

A pro/con would also be that it captures a moment in time. The pro being that
you could run a report and its results would be fixed, so you could rely on
that report result again and again. The con would be that it would be stale
immediately after running.
