There are a couple of advantages. First, scalability. Writes to Kafka are cheaper than writes to ZK. Kafka-based offset storage is going to be able to handle significantly more consumers (and scale out as needed since writes are spread across all partitions in the offsets topic). Second, once you move offsets *and* consumer group coordination off of ZK, then clients don't need access to ZK at all.
