I'd guess it's easier for a local mint to cover the area with wifi access spots even if the access only reaches the mint itself, not the wider internet.
There's also a possibility to do one-sided LN channel that can't be closed before a certain date. Such a channel could be used fully offline, but of course to route payments you'd need at least a local network.
