Netinstall thoroughly removes all traces of old configuration (it seems that sometimes there are some invisible remnants which can cause unstable operation). Which includes possible malicious code in case of sophisticated hacker attack.
So when thinking about making a more radical change (currently that might be replacement of wireless driver with wifi-qcom driver, in the past this might be enabling IPv6), it's benefitial to perform netinstall without keeping configuration (which essentially means going for default setup), reset to default config and build customized config based on defaults (contrary to what some tutorials in the wild indicate, it makes a solid foundation and most of times it's not wise to ditch it).
Unfortunately netinstalling means loosing users and certificates ... which makes it a bit unpopular.
