I don't see downsides to interwiki links (at least none that would bother me). If you know exactly where you are linking they save time (ie. writing threads/post on here and including relevant interwiki links to pages to reference, easier than going to find the links). On the other if have you aren't familiar with the destination article, copying a URL is faster. In my opinion it's just a matter of choice and options. Maybe you can find a better answer from whoever created these methods.
