Both are right. On one hand, if you design the network correctly there shouldn’t be a need but in the real world especially in large countries with diverse geography it can be useful. Carriers with high frequency spectrum say 2 ghz and above have real problems penetrating to the center of buildings. WiFi calling can really solve this problem in the large office building setting. Other carriers use lower frequencies like the 700 and 600 mhz band and this frequency can penetrate in to the building much more effectively making WiFi less of a need. I personally like having both but both modes LTE and WiFi calling support wide band audio which I really like.
