Yes, suppressors can increase accuracy as it is extending the barrel.
The primary benefits are noise reduction (5.56 is extremely unpleasant indoors unsuppressed) and visual signature reduction. The military is much more concerned with the latter; civilians tend toward the former.

I disagree there is long standing theory that suppressors make weapons less accurate which isn’t the case. So many considerations go into a suppressor effecting accuracy such as ammunition type, thread misalignment or issues. It’s a statement that’s been busted time and again. However, I don’t need an article to tell me that I have real world experience with it.
Edit, Also I misspoke on extending barrel what I was trying to say is extend/increase velocity. Therefore increased velocity=straighter trajectory.

It’s a benefit I wouldn’t say primary. While nice to have indoors it’s not a requirement and certainly not the standard. Signature reduction yes but a flash hider can do the same. Location of engagement is a massive advantage as well.
