why?
You go up 3 pawns rather than only 2, and you keep the lock on the white rook/king to the back rank for a while while you move in for either the mate or winning the other rook.
Because winning a whole piece is better than winning a rook for a bishop. Although, the material advantage is really just academic in this position, white could have resigned before this puzzle even started.
Yeah, I personally prefer puzzles that involve mating from a lost position or similar
Loomis:white could have resigned before this puzzle even started.
sorry,I disagree.If the material value is calculated,the black only win appreciable two pawn value.
In a position like that 2 pawns is a simple win. Especially with the tactic still on the board.
yes,try to solve this.

God2, not only is black going up a whole piece instead of an exchange, black is taking away white's active knight instead of exchanging black's active bishop for white's inactive rook.
i agree
