Since I have Sony (point & shoot), FujiFilm, and Nikon cameras, I don't want all the different software on my computer. So I just pull the cards out, put into a card reader and transfer that way. In fact, I also have a couple of trail cams and do the same with them. For me, it's easier.
Plus when a card develops a problem, or I accidentally delete pictures, I can use the EaseUS software to attempt a recover.
Oh - and when I am on a trip, if I fill up a card, I can change it out and keep shooting. The first trip with my first digital camera, I only had 8 MB cards and filled two up every single day. A five day trip to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge generated 1500 pics - we'd stop by Walmart and burn them to CDR every evening so we could wipe our cards and fill them up again the next day.
My Nikon D750 has two cards - one is for RAW (NEF) pictures, the other for JPG. I think the RAW card is 128 GB, the JPG is 64 GB. And yes, it is possible to fill up those with a day of shooting birds at a Royal Society for the Preservation of Birds in Yorkshire, England (Bempton Cliffs) or at Hadrian's Wall - but your battery will run out first. That's why I carry an extra battery and extra cards!
