The problem is that if you are in a flat key and all of a sudden have a chord full of sharps, it throws the brain off. And vice versa from sharps to flats.

In general, a B chord is easier to read than a Cb chord (and I suspect more so for guitar players), but in the context of the Gb key signature, the Cb makes more sense.
