The benefits would be that they would get a flood of new users, and out of those people would want to buy the advantages that the subscribers have eventually.
They're doing well, but that doesn't mean it's not a dying product. Additionally, Blizzard is doing just fine even with the bleeding of subs for their flagship. They have enough in their stable now that they won't need to cater to Warcraft and that doesn't really bode well for the product.
