Why use the pen tool over the line, shapes, paintbrush, and pencil tools?

My preference for the pen tool over the line, shapes, paintbrush, and pencil tools could be arguable but I prefer the pen tool and think its better to use simply because you are able to draw/outline your subject much more quicker.

If you were to use any of the shapes tool you would take more steps in order to obtain a specific part of that subject. If you took the paintbrush tool, lines wouldn't be accurate using a non-touchscreen device because your accuracy and stability on a mouse and touch-pad on a laptop is horrible or non-existent (same goes for the pencil tool).

As for the line tool it, to me, is pretty much has the same functionality as the pen tool (well what I've used the pen tool to do, I know the line tool can do). So I don't think they have much differences.
