If you store lossy on your PC you will lose quality if you transcode to a lower bitrate. If you don't transcode, then you will be using more space on your phone.
That's why.
If you don't want to transcode and just want to download and play, then full lossy is easier. But you are going to be using more space on your phone.
In which case we circle back around to "storage is cheap". Music is the only substantial space hog on my phone.
So you want to waste space on your phone to save space on your PC.
An odd choice, but you do you.
