Reporting on this type of DataStore object is consistent and provides stable navigation. A query can be executed straight after loading. You do not need to activate it beforehand. You can load deltas, for example from another DataStore object (advanced). The data is aggregated, thus making it impossible to overwrite key figures for example. As the change log is not filled, you cannot delete any data from the DataStore object.
