The benefit of long range scanners is that it allows you to see the components, cargo, supply, etc. of another players ship.

If the ship is within range, you can right click on it and get this info, just like you right click on your own to get this info.

In simultaneous, the greater range for higher level is all the more important, since you can't move your ships into range.

This info doesn't arrive automatically, and is never copied into your enemy designs. Only combat and treaty shares result in that.
