Can someone explain the benefit of this over a traditional smoke detector? Is it just that you can get notified while out?

note that $100 sold and shipped by Walmart at above link is dead. I do see a third party seller at $100 though - but personally I wouldn't buy from third party on Walmart site, ymmv.

Two other (potentially more niche) benefis are that they will detect motion and display a nice "path light" during the night, and they will also occasionally relay this activity data to a Nest learning thermostat, which helps it learn your habits and when the house needs temp maintained vs. when it can let it fluctuate a little. The hardwired ones are technically superior in this regard as they will relay the motion data more frequently, but otherwise the models are identical last I checked. Basically best bet is to just stick with what you already have (wired or battery powered) if you're replacing existing units.
Since Nest stopped integrating as nice and easy with third party apps and services, I am not as big a fan as I once was. That being said, I've had these in my last two houses and no one else (to my knowledge) makes a smoke/CO monitor system that's so well thought out and seemless, and so my new house will have these too. They're just awesome.

Do they still will not work with any other brands, so you have to have ALL smoke detectors 100% Nest protect?

Like the path light and does a self test each month. Had a small fire, worked perfectly. Warned us when smoke was detected and that alarm would go off in a few seconds. Put out fire but a lot of smoke, so fire department came out to air out the house. Was nice to be able to look at the app and be notified as the smoke in each room cleared.
Downside for some is that they have a built in microphone to do the self testing… privacy issue for some.
I bought mine at costco $100 each.
