Sprocket cover cracked

No cable breakage. Less owner maintenance required. More complete engagement and disengagement.

How is engagement/disengament different between a cable and hydraulic?
Both push the clutch pushrod.
Hydraulic pressure makes one work, vs leverage with the cable and a spring in the sprocket cover to aid in the pusher's return.

The Hydraulic clutches tend to take less effort to use, and they push the pushrod as far as needed every time, so no slack as the clutch plates wear, which is why cable clutches need adjustment over time.

Never had a clutch cable break....although I know it's not impossible...

I'm not sure about maintenance as the clutch fluid has to be replaced periodically...

With good aftermarket and factory QS available these days, the clutch is used less and less....

You answered your own question in the last paragraph.
