TMDS181: Why not always run in retimer mode across all ranges?

Part Number: TMDS181

Why would one not want to use mode retimer mode across full range 250 Mbps to 6 Gpbs?  I was surprised this is not the default setting.  So, it got me curious if we need to be concerned running this in this mode all the time?  Because we need lane swap and polarity, we are forced to be retimer only.
