> If anyone knows of any benefit to using ARIA when native HTML works just fine, it would be terrific to hear from you.

That's easy - it happens all the time. Designers often dislike the look of native elements (checkboxes, ranges etc.) which varies by browser, and want to customise it to fit the overall design. With proper ARIA mark-up, these elements stand a chance of working OK for screen reader users.
