SharePoint 2013 why content Search Web part?

Problem

In SharePoint 2010, we do not have OOB web part that get back aggregate results i.e. results more than one site collection. The Content Query Web part displays aggregate list content (data from multiple lists) from within a single site collection.

Why not Custom Web part?

If the number of site collection is increase, the custom code will cause the issue and this end up with performance or may have a chance for a memory leak.

Why Content Search Web part?

SharePoint 2013 Content Search web part introduced by the Microsoft to break the site collection boundary problem.Web part displays cross site collection aggregation results. It is OOB solution and fully based on Search(Indexed content) the more often crawl run, the more up to date content.
