The key benefits of using black gesso are:

Creates Depth and Drama: Black gesso provides a dark, moody ground that can add depth and drama to a painting. It helps eliminate the “blank canvas” feeling and encourages the artist to be more daring in their approach.
Makes Colours Pop: Certain colours, like neons, yellows, and bright blues, can really stand out and “pop” when painted on a black gesso ground. Transparent colours may appear more subtle.
Covers Existing Paintings: Black gesso is very opaque and can effectively cover up previous paintings or surfaces, allowing you to start fresh.
Enhances Tonal Contrast: The dark black ground forces the artist to focus more on tonal values and contrast when applying paint, potentially leading to paintings with greater visual impact.
Provides a Matte Finish: Black gesso typically has a very matte, flat finish that can be desirable for certain artistic styles and effects.

The main benefits of black gesso are the depth, drama, and contrast it can bring to a painting, as well as its ability to cover existing surfaces and create a distinctive matte finish. It encourages a more thoughtful and bold approach to painting.
