It also makes the phone battery last a bit longer. Performance will be better as well. If you only use mobile data on the device every now and then a tethered phone is fine, if you use it all the time a built-in connection is preferable.

I've seen issued laptops coming with cellular data + persistent tunnel as the default connection method over allowing use of client/public/site WiFi networks.
