Large network transactions (like an initial download when transferring phones) are a lot “kinder” to the hardware if you’re pulling through the port rather than running the wireless radios. There’s enough activity on the SOC already, can keep excess heat down by not needing the WiFi pumping at hundreds of MBs as well.
