After re-reading your question I am not sure if my answer was complete. I can only describe the benefits as I know, with regards to a secondary bevel and the advantages of using micro bevels.  One example, you can achieve a mirror primary bevel and use a micro bevel to create a more microscopically serrated apex edge. The touch-up of a micro bevel is simpler than having to sharpen the entire primary bevel as maintenance. The microscopically “rough” apex would cut much differently than say a 17 DPS microscopically flat apex (comparatively).   The rougher apex would do better on items like cardboard, etc.  With that said, each edge has its benefits and drawbacks. I will have to yield to the more experienced people here to answer in more depth.  I hope this answers some of your questions.

When creating a micro-bevel, there is a secondary bevel that will create the apex. (Rather than the primary angle)
