Shed roof advantages and disadvantages.

Pooling water on a roof can cause leaks and other damage. In the past people used shed roofs exclusively for their garden sheds and garages. A simple roof to construct but slightly more expensive than the skillion due to the lower slope needing waterproofing. Lots of built up snow adds extra weight to the roof that can also cause damage so shedding water and snow more efficiently is a definite advantage.

Granted they also get damaged more easily. A basic roofing design with only one slope is easier and less time consuming to work on for contractors and this translates into lower roofing construction costs. A metal roof is a 100 upgrade easy to repair. If they get damaged shingles are considerably easier to repair than metal.

It does shed rain and snow shed more easily with the greater slope. Shingles have a lower initial cost.
