Yes, those are two different things. If I know I'll be able to win by clearing all my opponents territories in the 1st attempt, I won't need to risk sending in some undersized squads (that may lose) just to get a few more points that have the potential to cost me the match if things go south. The opposite would apply as well. I know my opponent did really well on offense, I need to get every last point to win and take a lot of chances with undersized squads.
With that said, taking away seeing your opponents progress would make the game mode less entertaining to many. Also, who says you can't fool your opponent by attacking separately and giving them a false confidence. Also, putting pressure on your opponent could force mistakes too.
Overall, there isn't a material advantage. Just an interesting discussion that doesn't hold a lot of weight.
