Why does the Audi 80 have a digitized instrument cluster?

I've noticed that newer Audi 80 models have replaced traditional analog instrument clusters with digital ones. Why did they make this change and what benefits does a digitized instrument cluster offer compared to analog ones?

Another benefit of a digitized instrument cluster is that it can be connected to other devices and systems in the car, such as a navigation system or safety features. This allows for a more seamless and integrated driving experience. And let's be honest, it just looks cooler.
