Why does someone want to not be identified as he or she. Is it because they are both straight and gay? I’m not trying to be an *** this is all new to me. A few months ago I had no idea what non-binary meant this is all new to me, and frankly seems super alien to me. Trying to understand it and people’s motivations. It’s not for me but to each their own.
"He" and "she" are boxes, that come with expectations (which are a little different from culture to culture). Some people object to being boxed, or think that neither those particular two boxes don't fit.
That would be a completely separate issue.
I get that. I grew up in a time where people who thought like this were mercilessly teased and made to feel outcast. I struggle with this also.

What do they feel boxed from? What advantages are there identifying as none male or female?

Honestly, all the answers I could give you would be second-hand interpretations of actual non-binary people. There are blogs, live journals, instagrams, etc., by actual non-binary people,I encourage you to find one or two that read comfortably for you.
Externally, none that I can see. It's about being true to yourself.
He is too smart for that.

Damn straight!!
Appreciate the genuine question.
Imagine if someone came along and said: okay, as a basketball fan you’re either a Celtics fan or a Lakers fan. Which one are you?
Sure, those are the most well known choices, but there’s a whole league of different options out there to explore!
Good lord shut up and just be nice to people.
Honestly I don't understand the psychological "why" behind this stuff (I imagine there isn't a universal why and probably different reasons), but I just accept it because it really boils down to respecting another person on a pretty basic level that requires little to no effort other than saying a different pronoun.
You lefties are as soft as Charmin. This alphabet stuff is getting out of control.
That is truly a terrible analogy. It is crazy that we are now just completely ignoring mental illness.
Understanding builds empathy.
