The "better" is mostly for Elisp packages.  One of the reasons is that
it takes an argument, so it can check whether a given frame is graphical
or is a tty (after all, a single Emacs session can have both).
The other is that window-system can have value `pc' when running in the
FreeDOS port, and that port does not offer graphics mode.

In the use case of the OP, it probably just doesn't matter.
