What if you want to plug any phone you want into any Windows or Linux PC
you want where you can copy files back and forth to anywhere you want?

 

iOS/iPadOS can do that wirelessly. I do it occasionally. Why do you need to
"plug it in"?

 
Not all computers have wifi. My old custom built desktop PCs don't have wifi.

Not all computers need wifi. If its connected to the wifi network that iOS is
on, it will work.  I have done that too. All you need is the IP address of the
computer in question.

In fact I have a second wifi router configured in bridge mode for the old
computers without wifi. It wirelessly connects to the main wifi router, so
anything plugged into the second router is on the same network. Because the
main wifi router is downstairs and these computers are upstairs. Running
cables to upstairs is impractical.
