Not sure what you mean by "way beyond," because I've never read anything close to that for plain ghee (without any spices). It's not as far as brown butter. It does take more time because you want all of the water gone, which doesn't happen with clarified.
But as to your question... Why? Because it's super easy and tastes better!

True ghee has additional cultures, similar to yogurt. I don't know the details, but it sounds like a pain in the ass. So, there's ghee1, ghee2 and ghee3. Ghee3 is authentic, the others are simple variations.
