Well the idea is that Nitrogen molecules are larger so they don't seep out of the tire over time. So your tires stay properly inflated longer, which means better mileage and less wear. Nitrogen also is dry so no moisture on the inside of the tire to corrode things in theory.
My own personal experience with nitrogen in my tires is that I never worry about checking the pressure. When I go and get the oil changed or the tires rotated, I have them check the pressure and top it off. After as long as 6 or 8 months, I have never had them be more than 1/2 lb low.
I also don't worry about the winter cold or summer heat affecting the pressure and needing to adjust it.

the only benefit I have ever heard is that they stay a bit cooler running nitrogen over just air. Not really sure how that is a big benefit unless you run them lower on air for a softer ride.

Tempature does not affect nitrogen at 92% or higher. Which means tire pressure stats consistent no matter tire temp. In turn , helping prevent tire monitor lights always coming in and it helps with gas mileage

Less oxygen to support combustion when your brakes overheat.
(at least that's why high-performance aircraft use N2)
