ELI5: Why are 10-minute blocks better than ten 1 minute blocks?

I was thinking about how great it was that BCH made all these great improvements to the BTC protocol, but you still have to wait ten minutes(or more) to confirm larger spends.

So, is there an advantage to having one big block over lots of smaller ones? Or is it just a case of "satoshi said?"
