The only advantage to an embedded Raw file would be if you wanted to use the manufacturer's software to manipulate the image.The embedded code contains things only needed by the manufacturer's $ software. This becomes an either/or- why use Adobe if you buy the manufacturer's full program? Most people fell Adobe is more versatile and universal, so they don't embed the original RAW files. The only reason might be to enter a contest by the manufacturer which requires their original RAW files be used in producing the image.

Embedding the original image preserves it in all its glory, so if Adobe improves their software, you can squeeze more out of the original image with the new version of the software.
Adobe has improved its software over and over and those improvements do carry through to earlier DNG files from previous editions.The DNG data does not change, only how efficiently it is processed by software.
