Possibly to support wireless connections? You;ll be able to move your mouse across devices in the next version of iOS/macOS, so maybe this will allow you to use a screen without a device connected to it?

Why not do 3d inside the monitor? You send it textures and triangles and you get great 3d perf when connected, and more power efficiency when you are mobile (without the monitor connected).

The monitor could also have retained state (based on the pre-fetching of textures, etc as you said), so the majority of time the display and iDevice are sending small, low latency packets for mouse movement, or clicks, and periodic bulk transfers of data to sync files, etc.
