Why is there a AsyncWebServer specifically for WT32 ETH01?

Why is this useful: https://github.com/khoih-prog/AsyncWebServer_WT32_ETH01
Despite the normal ESP32Async/ESPAsyncWebServer working just fine with Ethernet on the WT32 ETH01?

The standard ESPAsyncWebServer library was originally designed for Wi-Fi, and its support for Ethernet is unofficial and sometimes inconsistent. This specialized fork is explicitly tailored for the WT32-ETH01 Ethernet module (which uses the LAN8720 PHY). Pre-configured to work reliably with ETH-based connections rather than relying on Wi-Fi initialization logic that might not always behave correctly over Ethernet.
