Why? I use the USB cable pretty often for transferring files and it simply works, with several Android devices of different brands. After all, WiFi is often very slow.
Your wifi is slow perhaps.
No, it is the phone WiFi which is slower than the AP.
I don't find this to be a problem. The phone only has 32 gig of storage. I won't be transferring much.
I transfer movies to my tablet for watching in bed.
Browsing it with KDE Connect seems like local storage. Fast.
Finding the proper cord is a problem. I have three different varieties to deal with.
I have adequate cables hanging from a hook by the computer rack, properly labelled. And I keep one or two on the case of the laptop.
Then there are some devices that are MTP ONLY, just when you wanted to transfer something else.
My phone does MTP and works fine to transfer files.

Cables are old school, and not more reliable than bluetooth or wifi. Heck, all this time I thought I was set in my ways.
I use both methods as the whim takes me :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
