There's something also in the UX dynamics. As a developer writing property based tests I'm encouraged to think much more carefully about system invariants, otherwise there's not much value added over unit tests. For anything nontrivial this entails building a model of the system and checking it against the system under test, like they did at AWS. So the decision to use this tool shapes how you think about the system--it makes you reason more formally about it rather than just winging it and writing tests to exercise the code.
