The downloadable updates include up to date modules (at the time of the update's release), plus updates to the IDE, compiler and other stuff that isn't module based. At least, I assume so.
Syncmods allows us to download any updates to the modules so that we can immediately make use of any bug fixes and updates. It's just easier for all concerned than having to wait and then download a full update.
You could always wait until the next downloadable update, but these aren't available anywhere near as often.
