Matter of taste and makes it a bit more explicit to me that
argv is an array of pointers to chars (and I can treat them as such).

Generally if it was char **p, then depending on the situation p++ might
have been invalid, where as char *p[] you would probably expect that
you can access p[0], p[1] up to a certain number of them.
