The reason for the ethernet adapter is height. Fancy laptops like this one are thinner than RJ-45 sockets are tall.
Why they give you a special plug rather than USB, I don't know. I could speculate- for example, USB 2.0 is 480Mbps, which means you cannot have 1Gbps ethernet without a special USB 3.0 adapter.
