Micro-ATX vs ATX - real-world difference?

I keep seeing people default to ATX boards even for basic gaming builds. Unless you need more than 2 M.2 slots or 3+ PCIe cards, what's the practical benefit of ATX over Micro-ATX?
MATX boards are often $30-50 cheaper, the cases are smaller, and you're not giving up any meaningful features for a standard gaming build. Change my mind.
