Hedging treasuries with futures rather than with treasuries?

Why would a trader who wants to hedge against interest rate moves do so in futures rather than underlying treasuries? Similarly, why would a speculator do the same (i.e. how is it any different for a speculator)?

Is it just because they provide the exposure with greater liquidity and not have to worry about squeezes and related spot market effects? Thanks
