But I can think of a couple of practical advantages:

Most laptops have limited USB ports. This is only an advantage if the wireless mouse doesnt use a dongle.

You often move your workspace around, ie switch output between an office monitor and a TV. Though there is a question of range. And if you don't necessarily have mouse surfaces, I can see a greater benefit for a wireless trackball.

If your desktop machine is placed awkwardly compared to the mouse surface, and there's no good way for the cord to reach.

Plus the non-practical but perfectly valid reason: aesthetics. My mom hates the way cords look.
