The big advantages to markers are that they dry immediately, they're easy to blend on paper, they can be used on almost every kind of paper and you don't have to mix them.

You can photocopy a drawing onto 20lb printer paper and lay down full blended color in minutes without warping, pilling or waiting for it to dry. You can't do that with watercolor.

There are disadvantages to markers as well. You're not going to make traditional watercolor art with them, and they're much more expensive. But for what they're designed for, which is professional illustration, there isn't anything out there better for the job outside of a computer.
