Further to @sam-saffron's suggestion regarding the flexibility of a Fluent Interface when adding a new operation:

If we needed to add a new operation, such as Pixalize(), then, in the 'method with multiple parameters' scenario, this would require a new parameter to be added to the method signature. This may then require a modification to every invocation of this method throughout the codebase in order to add a value for this new parameter (unless the language in use would allow an optional parameter).

Hence, one possible benefit of a Fluent Interface is limiting the impact of future change.
