Yes because they are more accurate. The guy on the ground designates a target with his laser and the laser guided rocket hits the laser point. No joke they are that accurate, it's really amazing to see in person. It is the epitome of close air support. The 30 mm cannon is accurate but it's still a gun, and the A-10 has a pretty archaic aiming system for the gun.
