Good article! I knew FSRS was a big enhancement in Anki, but I didn't know much else about how it came to be.

One of the posts it links to, from the FSRS repo or creator, really lays out the advantage clearly:

Aside from allowing the users to easily control their retention, FSRS has some other advantages when compared to Anki's default algorithm. With FSRS, users have to do 20–30% fewer reviews than with Anki's default algorithm to achieve the same retention level (2026-02-12 udpate: the figure is based on simulation results). FSRS is also much better at scheduling cards that have been reviewed with a delay, for example, if the user took a break from Anki for a few weeks or months.
