Basically the main benefit of binning is to increase the signal to noise ratio and hence the exposure length necessary because if you bin 2x2, for example, you are compressing 4 pixels into one. Of course this reduces the resolution but this generally doesn't matter because you usually only use binning when taking RGB images. The resolution in a LRGB image is in the luminance which is usually always 1x1.
