So the principal advantage, apart from the other one of fitting fatter tires into frames that will fit only very skinny 622 tires, is that you can find nicer 38mm+ tires in 584 than 32+ tires in 622? I know that that is certainly the case for 559 and 571 -- id est, that only the skinnies come with top quality, light and supple sidewalls, but I did not know that the same held for 622s as well.
