Why is 00 flour better?

Why is 00 flour better? The finer grind of 00 flour allows for longer fermentation while producing a light, airy, crispy crust (as opposed to chewy). It also means that the flour absorbs less water, which is another way of saying that it takes less water for it to achieve saturation.
