One great thing about having the tankless is you gain closet storage space in your garage where there would normally be a tank which is priceless.

You’re right it wouldn’t make any difference if you had a tank or tankless water heater it would take just as long to get hot water to the other side of the house. The builders could put a tankless water heater more to the center of the house if they really wanted to, because tankless are put in the wall but the builders I think don’t want to change anything. You would think since Florida is always saying the state is short on fresh water & TV waste a lot of water just running it so long to get hot water. Also tankless are cheaper to buy than a tank heater. Really I don’t see any difference which one you get unless when it’s time to get a new one, that’s where you can get a better deal on a tankless!
