How is an endospore an evolutionary advantage endospore-producing bacteria?

Imagine if you have two different bacteria. They are just hanging out, doing what they do, enjoying their nice, nutrient rich environment. They get to divide over and over...life is good. Then the nutrients start to dry up, all of a sudden there is no more food! The bacteria that cannot produce endospores shrivel up and they, and all of their offspring die! The bacteria capable of that final internal division and capable of using its internal goo to use as an iron clad capsule to protect its genetic material can then go metabolically dormant for...ever. When the environment improves it can resume its happy division. 2 bacteria enter...one bacteria leaves! There is your evolutionary advantage.
