std::midpoint overflow safety

Why is std::midpoint(a,b) preferable to (a+b)/2 for large integer values?
Options
  1. 1It always rounds toward zero for integer arguments unlike the division form
  2. 2It works on pointers only and is therefore not usable with integer arguments
  3. 3It is constexpr-unsafe and cannot be evaluated in a constant expression context
  4. 4It avoids overflow because it does not compute the full sum before dividing
