Why use a continuous loop?
Utilising a continuous spliced loop ensures the attachment of the block is as strong as possible, with minimal chances of failure.
A rope which is spliced can retain 80% 100% of its quoted breaking load. Whereas a knotted rope can retain 20% 50% of its quoted breaking load (percentage depends on the type of rope, knot or splice in use).
Eliminating a knot also ensures that there is nothing to snag or come undone.
