Hello @Robin_Reni,
Do you mean why logistic regression is better than linear regression when both work on the same linearly separable data? If so then the reason is that logistic regression is more efficient for training for less number of features and it provides us a sigmoid curve that better fits the data in most cases. If this is not what you wanted to ask, then please clarify what you wanted to ask and I will do my best to answer you
