Why use classic reports instead of IR or IG

Apex 18.2.

Hi,

Is there any advantage of using classic reports(standard template) over interactive reports(IR) or interactive grids(IG)?

I can see that I can customize IR or IG to make them look and act exactly like classic reports(standard template) through i.e disabling filtering, sorting, hiding Actions menu and search bar, etc... . So it looks to me like it's exactly the same and the only difference I can see is that when creating classic report I will not have to disable the options exist in IR or IG.

I am asking because I need to create some reports which do not have the features of the IR or IG for now but in the future I will need those features, so I think of creating an IR or IG now and disable those features then enable it again in the future. Is that a wrong decision?
