Are there any advantages to judicial foreclosure?

I just got through reading this article here: 

https://www.rocketlawyer.com/article/mortgage-vs-d...

Today I learned that owners/lenders in mortgage states (i.e. FL) must take back their property through a process called judicial foreclosure. This is opposed to nonjudicial foreclosure that is involved with a deed of trust. Some states allow mortgages only (16). Some allow deed of trust only (26). Some allow both (9).

I am curious if there are any advantages to judicial foreclosure. And in the interest of fostering confidence in property transfer and commerce in general, what would be some reasons why a state would not allow a deed of trust?
