Jute and cotton are made from natural fibres unlike plastic bags which are based on petroleum products. So one advantage is less reliance on oil. Also, waste bags made from jute and cotton biodegrade much more quickly than the biodegradable plastic bags. However, in many areas in which cotton is growing, the high demand for water is causing problems with water supply and also serious soil degradation.

How long does it take for cotton to decompose?
It depends where it is, so it is not possible to find an exact answer. If dry, I guess hundreds of years or never. If moist, but clean, maybe some decades. If moist and dirty, like if it is buried in soil, maybe a 10-30 years. If bright/white cotton is left moist for a few days, you can already see brown spots or mildew on them.
