This isn't complicated:
CR is better received by people than Approval is.
...even if someone tells us that he can't imagine it in use.
If people later realize that the greater "resolution" is unnecessary, that
would be great. Then they'll switch toi Approval. In the meantime, though,

Then I proposed the following criterion in 1997:
If p(wv)[A,B] > V/2 and p(wv)[B,A] < V/2,

I'd said:
If a majority prefer X to Y, that's a majority pairwise preference (MPP).
The strength of that MPP is measured by the number of voters who prefer X
to Y.
You say:
Well, obviously that's one way to define the strength of a pairwise
defeat. Margins provides another way, and cardinal

I think that Ted's draft public "Definite Majority Choice" proposal is
excellent, in the sense that anything that might be slightly better
would be more complicated and/or less intuitive.

Approval's weakness is that it is vulnerable to media manipulation.
To counteract this we could look at all of the approval winners under all
possible media manipulations, and then choose by random ballot from these.
Less ambitious, but feasible and adequate:
