The one main benefit, and the one thing that is likely to force the change eventually, is the larger address space. Soon it won't be possible to get a public IP address, for the current version, IP version 4.

Second, IP version 6 is organized into several layers of hierarchy. This may eventually help reduce the routing tables. Currently, the routers at the core of the internet, running BGP, have to have entries for over 250,000 different networks! That is, they need information on how to reach them. With IP version 6, it is possible - at least in some cases - that all the companies that are connected to an ISP are treated, by other ISPs, as a single route - that is, the routes are combined into a single "super-network" for the outside world.

IP version 6 also has lots of additional options, like an improved security - but this isn't really a compelling reason to switch, since these options can be added to IP version 4, too, using additional protocols.

Why did Gene Autry write Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?

He did not write the song, he only recorded it. Johnny Marks wrote the song. Marks wrote it and Autrey recorded it for the same reason most song-writers write and singers sing -- because they thought they could make money doing so. Since Autrey's version of the song has sold 25 million (VERY rough estimate) copies, they were probably correct in their opinion.
