More space.
More of the shelter is out of the wind.
The deeper you go, the closer to the 'average' temperature you get, which is usually less miserable than whatever thermometer-breaking sub-zero temperature snap is causing people who are used to the weather to seek shelter.
Have you tryed digging frozen ground? You would not do that for a short term dwelling.
Some igloos are made for long-term habitation.
The interior of well-built igloos was usually in the 60s (F). Quite cozy considering it's the fucking Arctic Circle.
