What are the advantages of using a Java + Spring + Cucumber framework over a core Java + Cucumber framework in testing?

I've been using a core Java + Cucumber framework in testing for both Web & API testing for years; over the years I've seen a number of people using a Spring Boot + Cucumber framework. I want to understand what are the major advantages of using a Spring Boot framework for an automated testing framework? Could someone explain or point me to already written resources on this topic?
