Mechanical advantage makes lifting heavy loads feel lighter
Why use sheer biological muscle when you can manipulate simple geometry to cheat reality? Using a complex network of basic pulleys entirely redirects the necessary tension required to hoist a colossal boulder. You still have to exert the total required energy by pulling a much longer length of rope, but the physical strain is mercifully distributed, tricking your arms into thinking it is a trivial task.
