The Anti-Life Equation gives him the power to completely decimate "hope" in all forms and giving him complete and utter control over anyone he wants. It's basically the ultimate form of mind-control.
The "Life" Equation gives what sentinent beings alone have: free will.
The Anti-Life Equation does the opposite. It completely strips anyone of free will and makes the "one with Omega".
Which is what Darkseid really wants. He wants EVERYONE in the multiverse to be under his control and in complete despair. He believes free will is a disease. The only will they need is Darkseid.
