For a couple of years we directly loaded our app onto dedicated devices that we deployed to client locations. Adding an extra day to this process would require some extra work / planning.

This is for an app that isn't on the Play Store, and many of these devices don't have GMS, or a store or browser on them.

We've since moved entirely to an MDM, so this isn't really an issue anymore, but we do occasionally run into a device that's not yet been enrolled and still uses the manual installation
