One advantage on the road of hanging off (or at least positioning the body to hang off) is that it provides a safety margin. When entering an unknown bend and finding a tightening radius, by hanging off you have allowed yourself the ability to lean the bike as well and safely negotiate the bend. If you enter on something approaching full lean, any additional lean is going to run the risk of dragging bits or running out of tyre edge.
More importantly than hanging off though is that people must learn to plan their bend entry, which includes road position and looking ahead and through the bend. Jumbled up cornering, untidy braking and focussing on a tree or bus stop on the outside edge of the bend is a recipe for disaster.
