That makes sense. But because most home users are just going to hide this somewhere out of sight, I don't think it matters too much. Might as well go with the cheaper option.

Think of it sort of as a splitter for ethernet to connect multiple devices to one ethernet connection.

It does matter because it takes up more space since you have wires coming out of both sides. It’s more compact to have all cables and power cord coming out of the same side.
