I can see the benefits for the author and there are some reader fans who like to get a weekly episode or monthly episode, etc. Just not my cuppa.
My problem with the current 'serials' is that they aren't clearly marked as such. Even using terms such as 'episode' and 'part' don't clearly mark what you are purchasing as a 'chapter' that will eventually be part of a single book.
