The Hisense h9g used faulty memory that caused the main board to fail if too many writes occured. The best way to prevent this was to disable the internet, not use on board apps and use a streaming device.
For the Samsung s90b, the company apparently sent out firmware updates that lowered the brightness of the TV. So to prevent an update for those who did not receive it, you would keep the TV off the internet, unable to use onboard apps, so you need a third party device.
I have an s90c that I do not want nerfed, so I use a fire stick on it and others on avs forums do the same with other streaming devices. I also have 2 h9gs that I keep off the internet.
I use a streaming device on my ust projector, the on board apps are laggy compared to a streaming device.
Another use case is that Samsung store does not have a larger app library compared to Google or the TV is not able to run certain apps.
I use an onn streaming box on one of my TV's that has Google TV on it. I can run emulators up to Dreamcast with the onn box, my TV is not able to do that.

My TV is adjacent to my router, but it's currently using wired Ethernet. Anyone know if I'll care about these differences for normal streaming apps or VLC/Kodi?

Remotes are a little different too.
If you have a strong Wi-Fi signal then you probably won't notice lack of Ethernet much. I always prefer to wire everything I can and keep the Wi-Fi traffic to a minimum.
UPDATE: They do sell an accessory for $15 that let's you use Ethernet (100 Mbit not gigabit) to connect a Fire TV Stick:
