Why would I make a deep clone of a Delta table vs reading the table and writing a copy to a new location?

It seems like with both techniques I would end up with a copy of my table. Trying to understand when I should be using a deep clone.

A deep clone is recommended way as it holds the history of the table. Also, the DEEP clone is faster than the read-write approach.
