I personally got very tired of the weight belt very fast, because - no matter how snug I pulled that darned thing, I had to tighten it first thing before descending. The moment I got in the water, that belt would loosen up and start slipping down my non-existent behind.
Weight-integrated BC also made it easier to distribute the weight more evenly, with the low front pockets, and higher rear pockets.
Not to say that those who do things differently are wrong - just that this is what I found I prefer, and why.
