My reason was to explore. It was still a huge unknown at the beginning with potential new things lurking in the darkness. Of course now I know the ratio between unique stuff and copy paste stuff, plus all the unique stuff being pretty much off limits without a quest or entry from the surface, I might not have done a full exploration of the Depths. I also wouldn't do it after already exploring the top, the reason it was fun was not knowing anything and slowly getting familiarized with the game language.
As for resources, it's the best place for puffs, muddles and bomb flowers, as well as plenty arrows to be found. Poes are good for money and to trade for more of those resources. Plus it's the only place for Zonaite and a good source of crytalized charges to increase battery power. The Yiga clan is interesting in their observations of the Depths and I found the challenge of navigating the place quite rewarding. Now I run across the Depths like its nothing, jumping up cliffs with max stamina, 8 rocket shields in inventory for boosts, nearly maxed battery to fly from one end to the other. Plus everything is lit up now. So yeah, it's only good at the start. Just there now to tour the forge constructs to max out the battery.
And it gives you all the locations of the shrines which is coming in quite handy since a lot are hidden on the surface. Some are tricky to find in the Depths as well, yet the map updates per light root in the Depths, no towers. Which reveals the location of the ones you are still looking for by giving you a search area, usually in the middle of the left over gaps in the map.
Oh btw, if you find any stone tablets in the Depths, take a picture. I just examined them and only took a picture of one and figured no ! so no point taking more. Now I found the quest and have to find them all again lol. Stupid. Disadvantage of going in blind first, no clue what's important. Anyway any writing that has an A prompt, take a picture.
