Plugging the phone into a laptop seems far easier than connecting both to a shared network and then trying to find the right IPs to connect to.

Worse case you even have to make an access point which isn't a gui operation on most laptops.

I'm guessing you don't use Apple devices. AirDrop. Seamless adhoc direct connection. Easier than plugging in a cable.

I don't think "seamless" is a common word people use to describe it.

God forbid you'd ever want to transfer to a non-Apple device amirite? Most of the people that I know that use iPhones don't have Macs. And those with Macs don't have iPhones lol.
