There are a bunch of integration use cases in which making use of EDA (Event-Driven Architecture) is preferred over any other type of synchronous architecture like REST (REpresentational State Transfer).
One of the most common examples is when you're trying to create an integration to an external system which is not very stable and may be unreachable at times. This would make it hard for REST architectures to continue the process flow uninterrupted. In this particular case, an architecture based on queues would be the best option to keep retrying until the system is back up.
In this video, we explore one of Salesforce's tools for EDA: the Platform Events.
