Same here. Way more people will understand how approval voting works when compared to rank choice. Not to mention, it incentives candidates to behave with more tact, rather than be so adversarial. You see this in how approval voting elections have less adversarial, negative ads.
Also because ranked choice has multiple rounds, it allows for splitting the vote in unexpected ways. This happened recently in France (I think) where the majority would have approved of either of two candidates, but the third was the one that won because of how the second choices were split after the first round. That can't happen with approval voting.
Also, with approval, there's an additional much more hidden advantage: There's no limit to how many you can vote for, so you can vote for your ideal candidate and an acceptable moderate without feeling like you're throwing away your vote. It makes it more likely for moderates and third parties to win over the more extreme candidates.
