Is there any benefit for using this as opposed to a normal standalone host?

If you already using HA on your own hardware probably not. The Green is more aimed as a cheaper off the shelf solution for new users.

No, it doesn't seem to come with a Zigbee radio or anything, so it's just a box with HA pre-installed.

Fair, but you could just donate instead, no?
