You answered yourself: "default modular streams are planned to deliver
the exact same experience as non-modular packages." If they provide the
same experience, they provide the same set of benefits. Hence there
cannot be any "benefits of default modular streams over non-modular
packages". Q.E.D.

If you want a disuccion, then you should not have stripped all
modularity features and than ask what are the benefits of modularity
without modularity.
