- Make has the ability built-in to only run certain commands based on the files that have changed, which can be handy.
- Makefiles usually have a lot of handy variables for configuring the project like $CC or $DESTDIR. While you could have these in a bash script as well, there's a standard convention for variables in Make[1].
In my experience, Makefiles are usually better documented and follow more conventions than scripts. There are of course many exceptions to every rule.
Make files are very similar to bash scripts, and while I would prefer a Makefile any day, it's really a matter of preference.

I think that for things to change they will need to reach a breaking point. I hope and pray that we will be able to get through this breaking point and to the other side to a better civilization before some x-level threat destroys us.
