Unibody construction is primarily used to reduce weight. Normal frames are heavier, but they're also more rigid. The Jeep Cherokee used a unibody and was very successful with it and weighed slightly over 3,000 lbs, which is very light for an SUV of that size.

It has no frame. It is a unibody construction.
The chassis is the structural elements of the vehicle. A unibody chassis, (no separate frame) includes everything but bolted on body panels. If the vehicle has a body bolted on a separate frame construction then the chassis is the frame.
The all do not have a unitized construction. The Jeep Wrangler is body on frame. The reason manufactures went to unitized construction is lower cost. The only jeep that had a unibody was the small Cherokee and that had sub frame assemblies mot true unibody. EVERY other jeep has full frames.
It allows the vehicle to carry a much heavier load. That is why trucks are constructed with a body on frame.

When the internal body structure of a vehicle is used as a frame, it is called a unibody structure. This design integrates the vehicle's body and frame into a single unit, providing structural strength and reducing weight.
