The CSG file format is a subset of full OpenSCAD file format. As a rough approximation, it can be considered analogous to a STEP file in that it does not contain meshes, but rather object primitives.
Advantages
Mesh operations are tricky, and can be complex.
CSG files should be reproducible, making testing the final output possible.
Tools like FreeCAD primarily use CSG to interact with OpenSCAD, and need to use hacks for everything which cannot be converted to a CSG
Limitations
As CSG only allows object primitives, mesh operations are not allowed.
