Linux allows you to reach the WiFi address, even when connected via Ethernet. And for a long time it allowed to reach the WiFi address even when it was on another network which is an information leak. It is none of your business what address the Linux box has on networks to which you are not connected. So much for Linux 'advantage'.
Linux is often used as a router and I have used it as one in the past (currently using pfSense on BSD). A router requires that function. Otherwise, it would be a useless router, if it couldn't connect to 2 networks at once.
If you're worried about it, turn off routing.
It is not about connecting to two networks. It is about connecting to two networks *separately* without leaking unneeded data between them. And that's exactly what a router or firewall is supposed to do. You completely miss the point.
