Ethernet or USB connecting to a laptop?
I think it was the only option before BlueTooth OBDII dongles came along. Some folks still may prefer to use a laptop vs a smartphone.
The USB cables I’ve used in the past were pricey. But the software was included. No app credits to purchase etc. This was 5+ years back coding VWs, before things like Obdeleven were mainstream.
If you’re seeing it now I would suspect it’s more of a preference vs it being cheaper.
