It's a much simpler way to compare the acidic or basic value of a given solution. pH = 4 looks a lot cleaner than 1.0 x 10^-4 M, if you ask me.

The pH scale typically ranges from 0 to 14 because it covers the full range of acidity and alkalinity levels. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline. This range allows for precise measurement and easy comparison of solutions based on their acidity or alkalinity.
