with the standard "my2cents" disclaimer, and respect to Jeff:-

The advantage is presumably that the footswitch works as a dongle,
which is a useful consideration in profit terms.

Doesn't that Korg Legacy thing rely on a similar principle?

I could imagine that having a nice light small footswitch to work
the looper, while using the laptop to set up FX & sounds
would be most acceptable for a portable rig.
