There is a reason why to use resumable upload when I have a stable connection?

I need to upload many files to Cloud Storage. Each file is 1MB to 1GB. I have a stable connection. I thought to use the Simple Upload Api. But Google recommend to use Resumable upload.

There is any real reason to choose resumable upload when I have a stable connection?

For larger files (more than 5 MB) or less reliable network connections, use resumable upload instead

Network problems are probably the main cause of needing to restart/resume uploads, but other problems can impact uploads too. For example, if a sudden burst of traffic causes your Internet connection to be temporarily overloaded your upload could time out; or there could be an intermittent client bug or server timeout/failure that causes your connection to be dropped. If these other kinds of failures are sufficiently infrequent you could just keep things simpler by using a non-resumable upload (and then just start over from scratch on the infrequent cases when the connection is dropped).
