It really depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting to get out of the experience. For instance, streaming a game from a gaming pc to a Steam Deck or other portable unit works best when the pc is wired to the network.

Yeah, unfortunately my house is pretty old, so there's exactly one spot I can place a modem/router. I could centralize the router, but it always ends in a cable 🙃
I use my steam deck to stream games over wifi. I cannot notice the performance difference between wifi.
Well, I use mine to stream games over wifi and it works better when my pc is wired. Different situations require different set ups. That's the beauty of having options.
