Having the option of sealing off all entry from water is very useful. Many folks have family that try inserting cables diagonally. Anyone working in very dusty or humid climates.
Fast charging is actually really hard on batteries… I intentionally disable fast charging. I want to delay dendrites as much as possible.
If you get quality wireless charging gear, it’s very reliable.
Adding a ring of magnets to your case to become magsafe compatible also nearly eradicates alignment problems.
It’s just an option. I prefer any phone that costs over a certain amount to have some form of alternate charging than just the one cable. I am the nerd for a large household that used to destroy usb ports and cables all the time, drop phones in water, get tons of lint or worse in the USB port etc… Most of those issues are nearly gone with Qi.
It’s all about priorities. Mine are better served with the option than not.
