TPS55289: inductor's layout

Part Number: TPS55289

Hello I read Ethernet PHY PCB Design Layout Checklist on TI and it says no metal should be under the magnetics on any layer. First question why they suggest that? and is this just for ethernet layout or should i do it for the buck converter's inductor?
