a) So much easier to balance.
b) You can max out in spending your resource, no need to swap around resources.
c) Easier for new players to understand, I could walk around with my money all in change 1p,2p,etc or I could just use my credit card. Which I think is easier.

tbh no it doesnt do anything other than make it more believable (if such a thing can exist in a scifi game).

Governments themselves are the thing that drives the "planet", why do you need a government if your the ruler of the planet. You would have advisor's. Doing it this way would give the idea more credibility.

But this also means that it would be good to have negative effects on your planet, for example increasing research (+20%) would decreasing construction (-20%).
