:LanguageClientInstallBinaries makes it easy to download or refresh languageclient. This is my first time writing vimscript and I just wrapped provided install.sh.

What are the benefits of providing this extra command than relying on plugin manager like plug or dein to do the work automatically? If the user needs to do the download one time occasionally, it should be easy enough to fire off the command in terminal.

@autozimu I don't use plugin managers with Vim 8, because it is able to discover and run plugin itself. The ability to download/refresh binaries is a convenience feature I used to in vim-go. Instead of directing users to RTFM in case of missing binaries, it offers a quick way to fix problem with one command.
