The main reason is because a unique identifier is unique for any database.

One advantage is that if you have to merge databases then you won't class with ID values. With an int then the possibility is quite high unless you carry out a lot of work to prevent it.

Another is security. Because unique identifiers are randomly generated that means a person who has one identifer cannot easily guess the next on in the sequence or find adjacent rows in the database. They could randomly guess, but with the speed of current technology they'll be there a while.
