I see no other advantage to it other than that.

I agree. Teaching code to new freshman is challenging, so LabView is easier to use in the long run. Also I remember a few years back, when our robot would not run with the c++ code, and we were up next(this was at a competition), We were saved because we ran LabView code, and that worked perfectly.

Its mostly preference. C++, Java and LabView both provide an enriching learning experience and it will help in the future. It is better to be comfortable with all, but it is not mandatory to use one or the other.
