Lightning base components have a baked-in functionality to handle the formatting of data, validating data , connecting with the Salesforce object, using SLDS, and many more. They are optimized for performance, and hence wherever applicable developers should leverage them. An example use case would be, instead of using custom SVG components, use Lightning:icon and Lightning:buttonIcons.
